Plies and Dawn Staley is one of the most unlikely duos in sports, but it magically works.
Dawn Staley is a legend in her own right. Staley is a 2013 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, a three-time Olympic gold medalist and a six-time WNBA All-Star. She also coaches the hottest team in women’s basketball, the South Carolina Gamecocks.
Honestly, she’s a beloved figure in South Carolina for her dedication to her athletes and the community. Her supporters flock to her infectious energy and appreciate her gentle yet firm coaching style.
So, it’s not exactly shocking that hoops fans across the sports landscape would be in awe of her, including Grammy-nominated rapper Plies, who recently invited Staley to a January 2024 music event.
