"It's always been a marathon, never a sprint": Chennedy Carter embraces 'surreal' journey after 40-point game in China

Chennedy Carter is receiving a superstar treatment in Chinese Basketball League, and rightfully so. The WNBA star has been balling her heart out with her Wuhan Shengfan team. After back-to-back 40-point games in the WCBL, the Chicago Sky star dropped humble words on her journey.

Carter posted two pictures of herself from her life in China so far as she continues to dominate the floor with her remarkable skill. In one of the pictures that she posted, the 26-year-old was posing for a team picture in the Wuhan Shengfan jersey.

In the caption, she summarized her basketball journey with these words:

"growth, prosperity, bright future 3💙," Carter wrote.

"From Then To Now 🏁."

"its always been a marathon never a sprint 😘," she added.

Last season in the WNBA, Carter was one of the top guards in the league. She started her season coming off the bench, but quickly upgraded into the starting rotation. In 33 games last season, Carter averaged 17.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

Chennedy Carter shares her dinner experience in China

Chennedy Carter has not only been playing great basketball in China, but she is also living the best life as a baller. After she made her money in the WNBA, Carter traveled to China to make some extra money.

It seems like the WNBA star is earning fairly in China this offseason. The Chicago Sky guard posted a picture of her feast at a restaurant in Wuhan. In the snap she uploaded on her IG story, Carter hilariously called herself fat.

"Yes I am fat and can eat," Carter wrote in the caption.

Carter also rated every dish on her ordered menu, which included lamb chops, pastas, California rolls, brownie and rainbow cake. While she rated lamb chops 10 out of 10 and pasta a nine, Carter gave a low rating to rainbow cake (7) and Califonia roll (6.5).

While many WNBA players opted to play 3X3 basketball in the inaugural "Unrivaled" league, Chennedy Carter chose to travel to China. In her time playing in the WCBL, Carter has been nothing less than spectacular.
