LSU's Flau'jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams share Kim Mulkey's stories

LSU stars Flau’jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams' bond could be seen both on and off the coast by their fans. During the latest episode of Johnson’s podcast, "Best of Both Worlds," the two teammates shared some hilarious moments involving their head coach, Kim Mulkey.

Williams talked about Mulkey’s habit of tripping over her white Nike Air Max sneakers during team meetings.

"Like how you yelling at me going hard? With you tripping over your shoes."

Johnson then chimed in describing Mulkey's habit of throwing out "off-the-wall sh*t" that often leaves the room in stitches.

Flau’jae revealed another struggle with the head coach, trying to maintain composure during Mulkey’s rants. She confessed that making eye contact with Mulkey mid-rant always ends in uncontrollable laughter.

Flau’jae Johnson has joined the Unrivaled league via a landmark NIL partnership. The Unrivaled League, founded by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, is set to debut in January 2025.

Though NCAA rules prevent Johnson from playing professionally until she finishes her college career, she has already secured a stake in the league’s success,
