In a world where WNBA rivalries extend far beyond the hardwood, Sabrina Ionescu has just dropped the hottest one-word reaction in sports history: “Bruhhhhhhh.” Yes, you heard that right. A parody video of A’ja Wilson’s commercial has taken TikTok (or should we say X, formerly known as Twitter?) by storm, and the New York Liberty star couldn’t help but crack up.
But let’s rewind for a second. Earlier this year, Ionescu, A’ja Wilson, Sue Bird, and Chiney Ogwumike were part of a CarMax commercial. Now, you might be thinking, “Oh, just another ad.” But when two WNBA superfans decided to hilariously recreate this commercial, things took a sharp comedic turn.
The parody video features a spot-on imitation of Ionescu telling Wilson that her car is small. Wilson, ever the MVP, nonchalantly replies, “Yeah, it’s small, but it’s fine.” And just when you think the exchange couldn’t get any better, fake Ionescu delivers the knockout punch: “You’ve won two MVPs because one wasn’t fine!” Mic drop.
Now, hold up. A’ja Wilson fans, before you storm the comment section, here’s the kicker: Wilson didn’t just stop at two MVPs. Nope. She decided to go for a hat-trick and recently claimed her third MVP title. Apparently, two wasn’t fine, but three is just right.
“Bruhhhhhh” – Ionescu’s Oscar-Worthy Reaction
So, how did the real Sabrina Ionescu react to this golden piece of content? With just one word, and honestly, it was all she needed: “Bruhhhhhhh.” The meme potential here is off the charts, folks. Someone put that on a t-shirt, stat.
For those of you wondering, this isn’t the first time Sabrina’s been in a commercial parody, but it might be the funniest. And let’s not forget that this ad is for CarMax, a company valued at a cool $11.18 billion (yes, with a “B”). So, the stakes were high, but apparently, not as high as Wilson’s MVP count.
“Meanwhile, On the Court: Ionescu Eyes Her First Title”
Off the court, Sabrina Ionescu has been chasing more than just memes—she’s after her first WNBA championship. The New York Liberty star and her squad are currently battling the Minnesota Lynx in the Finals, and after a Game 1 loss, Ionescu and the team bounced back in Game 2 to even the series.
But here’s where things get real. After a tough first game, Ionescu didn’t retreat to the gym or the film room. Nope. She retreated to the comfort of her family. With 25 of her closest relatives flying in from California to support her, Sabrina managed to take a well-deserved breather from the high-stakes world of professional basketball.
“It’s great, I mean, I saw them yesterday and was able to just kind of forget about basketball for a little bit,” she told reporters. And honestly, who wouldn’t need an emotional break after a month of non-stop “win or go home” pressure? Maybe that’s the secret to winning: a little love and a lot of family dinners.
“Game 3: The Pressure Is On”
Now, as the Liberty head to Minnesota for Game 3, all eyes are on Ionescu. Can she bring home the chip for the Liberty? Can she channel the same energy that led to her viral “Bruhhhhhhh” moment and deliver on the court? One thing’s for sure: if Sabrina’s as good at handling Finals pressure as she is at reacting to TikTok parodies, we’re in for an epic showdown.
Conclusion: MVPs, Memes, and Championships—The Ionescu Way
In a league packed with talent and personalities, Sabrina Ionescu is proving that she’s more than just a basketball player. She’s a meme queen, a commercial star, and maybe—just maybe—a future WNBA champion. Whether she’s dropping dimes on the court or dropping “Bruhhhh” on social media, one thing’s clear: Sabrina Ionescu is in her bag.
So, as the Liberty prepare for Game 3, and TikTok continues to churn out comedy gold, we’ll be here, waiting for Ionescu’s next one-word masterpiece. Who knows? Maybe after she wins her first championship, it’ll be something like: “Finallyyyyyyy.”
