Cameron Brink shuts down male doubters with cutting remark after Unrivaled move…
Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink has mocked her male haters after growing tired of her height being constantly doubted.
Brink, 22, starred for Stanford in college and was the No. 2 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, with Iowa’s Caitlin Clark the only player in her class to be selected higher. Brink is listed at 6-foot-4, but has become used to fans believing that her height is inaccurate.
In an Instagram video uploaded by ‘wnbagotgame’, Brink was asked: “What’s more annoying? A guy lying about their height or a guy saying that you aren’t actually 6-foot-4?” Brink offered a brutal response, replying: “A man telling me I am not 6-foot-4 is really annoying. You are just shorter than 6-foot-4, and you are trying to make yourself feel better.”
“I feel really good. I mean, I’m not close to being back but that’s fine,” Brink said. “That’s just a part of the process but I truly feel really good and I think that’s just a testament to the people I surround myself with… I’m very lucky and there’s not been many bumps in the road.”
The new 3-on-3 league is quickly gaining momentum, and Brink, along with her fellow WNBA stars, hopes it brings more fans to women’s basketball. “I hope it just brings more eyes to the sport, and honestly, more eyes to three-on-three,” Brink added.
“I think it just brings great eyes to different types of basketball… It’s not your regular five-on-five. It is going to be more fast-paced, it’s going to showcase people’s talents in a different way.”
Brink was showing promising signs in her rookie WNBA season, and has the makings of a dominant two-way player due to her defensive strength and ability to shoot from range. Brink has also committed to join the new Unrivaled Basketball League founded by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, but won’t feature in January’s inaugural tournament.

The Sparks forward suffered an ACL injury 15 games into her rookie season, where she was averaging 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 blocks and 1.1 steals per game. While Brink won’t be playing, she will still be involved and is expected to contribute during broadcasts and through Unrivaled’s social media.
“Obviously, I won’t be playing, but I will be supporting full-fledged,” Brink said to People Magazine. “I think it’s just going to be a really cool opportunity. Iron sharpens iron, so while I’m there, I’ll be able to train with people and work on my game.
“It’ll be really a huge year of growth for me — so, I’m really excited,” she added. Although Brink has suffered an early setback in her professional career, she feels lucky that her recovery process has been smooth and is eager to come back strong.
