Michaela Onyenwere’s grandmother stole the show with immaculate vibes during WNBA draft night
When your granddaughter gets taken No. 6 overall in the WNBA draft, you’ve got to celebrate. That was clearly going through Michaela Onyenwere’s grandmother’s mind after the 21-year-old was drafted by the New York Liberty on Thursday night’s WNBA draft.
During ESPN’s cutaway to interview Onyenwere after being drafted by the Liberty, the world got a great look at who she was celebrating the special occasion with. And folks, her family did not disappoint. Between the packed house, the outfits, and the enthusiasm, Onyenwere’s family was the star of the show during the interview.
Especially Onyenwere’s grandmother, who is absolutely worth watching this clip over and over for.
