Jordin Canada is having the best season of her career with the Los Angeles Sparks. She speaks on her mentality, singing and Nipsey Hussle inspiration.
USA TODAY Sports' Mackenzie Salmon take us inside the collegiate career of Aliyah Boston who is now a member of the Indiana Fever in the WNBA.That's what Jordin Canada was instructed to write in her journal at UCLA every day after practice. The mantra has stuck with her through her six-year WNBA career. This season, the Los Angeles Sparks guard is averaging a career-best 13.3 points, 6.0 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game. She also has 1.9 steals per outing, second only to her 2.
The guard, who celebrated her 28th birthday on Friday, won two WNBA championships in her time with the Seattle Storm, where she was drafted in 2018 and played behind future Hall of Famer Sue Bird. She knew she wanted a chance to shine on her own, so she joined the Sparks in free agency in the 2022 offseason, returning to her hometown team.
Part of her process was staying stateside instead of playing overseas in the offseason and did a stint with Athletes Unlimited, a fast-paced women's professional league. She will debut a PE sneaker with Jordan Brand paying tribute to the charity at the Sparks' home game this Saturday against the Atlanta Dream. She recently spent some time painting with kids at the Los Angeles Ronald McDonald House. The player exclusive colorway incorporates some of the kids' paintings.
