"She don’t even need security?" - WNBA fans awed by Sparks Kelsey Plum's impromptu street moment in LA

WNBA were amazed at how new LA Sparks player Kelsey Plum handled herself in her encounter with fans in a street in Los Angeles.

In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), the two-time WNBA champion was seen striking a conversation with a man who took notice of her as she waited for an Uber with a friend.

Plum gamely answered the man’s questions about her, including if she was a celebrity and her sport of choice apart from basketball. She even showed her social media account and exchanged pleasantries as they bid each other goodbye.

Fans were in awe with the way Kelsey Plum handled things, sharing their thoughts in the comments section of the post.

"She don't even need security?!?!," one highlighted.

"Pretty cool she talks to mostly everyone unlike a lot of famous people," a user pointed out.

"She said chill with us until our Uber arrives," another saluted Plum for her gesture.

"Damn I wish more famous people were like her," a comment suggested.

"She chill," a user simply put.

"She's lowkey cool," another chimed in.

"She was relaxed, nice to see," a fan wrote.

Kelsey Plum landed in Los Angeles following a three-team deal this offseason that also involved the Las Vegas Aces and the Seattle Storm.

The 30-year-old former Washington Huskie spent seven years with the San Antonio/Las Vegas franchise, where she was a two-time champion and three-time NBA All-Star.
