Dominique Malonga Warns WNBA: Plans to Dunk on Rivals

Dominique Malonga, the 6-foot-6 French phenom recently drafted No. 2 overall by the Seattle Storm, is generating buzz ahead of the 2025 WNBA season with her impressive dunking ability. Social media has highlighted a viral video of Malonga effortlessly dunking, sparking humorous exchanges among WNBA players, including Los Angeles Sparks forward Rickea Jackson, who jokingly pleaded not to be the first player dunked on by Malonga. Sydney Colson of the Indiana Fever joined in, hoping Jackson would make history by being on the receiving end of Malonga's first WNBA dunk. Malonga, who began dunking at 14 and was the first Frenchwoman to dunk in an official game, has expressed her intent to bring this skill to the league. The Storm are focusing on developing young talent like Malonga while pairing them with experienced veterans. Only eight players have dunked in WNBA history, with Malonga now poised to potentially add her name to that exclusive list.
