Brittney Griner

WNBA Player, Phoenix Mercury

Bold. Strong. Authentic. These are just a few of the words that define Brittney Griner, a woman who is redefining her sport and opening the eyes of marketers with her unique sense of style.

She is that rare kind of athlete, one who transcends the game and connects with fans on a deeper level. On the court, the Phoenix Mercury star is fierce and relentless, showcasing a blend of size and skill not seen before in women¹s basketball. Off the court, she is committed to helping create a more inclusive society, expanding the opportunities for young people to reach their full potential.

BG was so dominant during her college career -- she led Baylor to the national championship as a junior -- it's hard to believe she didn’t start playing hoops until the ninth grade. As she continues to refine her skills, taking her game to an even higher level, she is also using her voice to represent a new generation of athletes, those who know that to be the best, they must also be true to themselves.

With her 6’8″ frame, 88-inch wingspan and adventure-loving spirit, Brittney Griner doesn’t just break the mold -- she shatters it. And her ethos is easy to embrace.

BG: Be You.
