The French Takeover: Dominique Malonga Breaks Down Her US Transition & Unrivaled 3x3

Описание: French phenom Dominique Malonga sits down in Philadelphia to discuss her breakout off-season with the Unrivaled 3x3 league. After a strong rookie season in Seattle, Dominique explains how the fast-paced 3x3 format is refining her decision-making [02:43] and physicality [01:40] as she prepares for her second WNBA season.

She opens up about her unique "twin" connection with teammate Cameron Brink [05:09], their desire to play in "big" lineups together, and the mentorship she’s receiving from Hall of Famer Alisa Pizay [01:00]. Dominique also shares her mindset on dunking—shifting from "softer" layups to realizing that when she jumps her highest, "nobody is up there with me" [00:49]. Watch for an inside look at how one of the most exciting young players in the world is bridging the gap between the French and American game.
