Basketball and hip-hop just collided in the best way possible for Cameron Brink! The Los Angeles Sparks forward recently shared a story that had her feeling like she hit the ultimate bucket—getting props from none other than Kendrick Lamar’s team. 💥🏀🎶
💬 A Kendrick vs. Drake Moment Goes Viral
During the WNBA Draft, Brink was asked on the orange carpet: “Kendrick or Drake?” While most chose Drake, Brink stayed loyal to her West Coast roots:
“I was the only one that chose Kendrick.”
Fast-forward to a USC vs. Notre Dame women’s basketball game, and Brink had a moment she’ll never forget:
“A guy came up to me with his super cute daughter. He was like, ‘I work with Kendrick, and he noticed that you were the only person who said him. And he fucks with you—he says, ‘You’re LA.’”
Brink didn’t waste the opportunity. She sent a video message straight to Kendrick, shouting out her love for the rap legend. Whether Kendrick actually saw it or not, the moment was enough to leave Brink on cloud nine:
“Maybe he was lying, I don’t know. But I think he knows who I am, and that was a highlight of my life.”
💸 Brink Keeps It Real on WNBA Salaries
Off the court, Brink is keeping it grounded. Speaking on Richer Lives by SoFi, she expressed gratitude for her WNBA paycheck while acknowledging the need for higher salaries:
“My mom was the first to go to college in her family. My grandma worked three jobs as a single mom. I do not take that money for granted. That is good money. That is a salary that we work very hard for.”
Still, Brink added:
“It would be nice to see WNBA paychecks get bigger.” 💼💸

Cameron Brink is winning both on and off the court—from standing tall for Kendrick Lamar to speaking truth about WNBA pay. Her story proves that staying true to yourself can lead to unexpected wins—and maybe even a shout-out from one of the greatest rappers of our time. 🏀🎶
