Los Angeles Sparks small forward Rickea Jackson clapped back at one “online hater” who wished she would get dunked on in one of her games in the WNBA.
Recently, Sparsk star Rickea Jackson gave her honest opinion on the drafting of French basketball star Dominique Malonga to the WNBA, as one of the new international players coming into the 2025 season of the league.
