"Chen trying to fight some Asian girls": Fans react to Chennedy Carter being rewarded with $1,380 in China for keeping emotions in check

One of Chennedy Carter's biggest strengths as well as one of her biggest flaws is her ability to play with raw emotion. The Chicago Sky star had a breakout season in the WNBA in 2024 and will look to build on that in the coming season.

Carter is currently playing overseas in China, something that's common among WNBA players looking for greater earning opportunities during the league's offseason. As part of her contract, Carter receives 10,000 yuan, roughly $1,380, for emotional growth as well as sportsmanship.

Fans in the comments of the post humorously reacted to the clip that displayed Carter's on-court frustration.

"She such a little menace to society," one fan jokingly commented.

"Lmaoooooo not Chen trying to fight some Asian girls in the beginning," he commented. "This is HILARIOUS. SO GOOD!"

"Don't think those women over there can't fight," another added.

Some fans supported Carter's attempt to improve the mental aspect of her game.

"It's beautiful to see since she's so talented," a fan posted.

"I told y'all," another fan added confidently.

"Growth," a third fan put simply.

Carter's play on the court has also had people talking. Numerous reports have indicated the 2020 All-Rookie team member is taking over the Chinese professional league with her star-caliber play.

The 26-year-old is coming off her best WNBA season to date, averaging career highs in points, rebounds, steals and field goal percentage. In 33 games for the Sky last season, Carter averaged 17.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game on 48.7% shooting.
