VIDEO: The Entire Internet Is Accusing Kelsey Plum Of Being “Extremely Rude” To Female Reporter During Her Halftime Interview On Live TV
During halftime of Friday’s game between the Las Vegas Aces and Indiana Fever, Kelsey Plum was pulled aside to answer some questions about the game so far. When asked how the Aces started the game, Plum responded, “Ummm… I don’t know come back to me later.”
Of course, the video above accuses Plum of being rude during the interview, but many social media users have defended Kelsey.
“This is a lot of fuss over nothing. She was coming off the floor, a bit out of breath, and didn’t have time to collect herself. She answered the questions, and there’s no rule that says people have to like the answers,” said one comment.
“If someone stuck a mic in my face mid-game I’d be more than rude. This pro is focused on game adjustments and missing coaching instructions,” said another.
“She wasn’t being rude….shes human her adrenaline is going and yea like she explained after Kelsey Mitchell was COOKING…I’m not gonna answer a defensive question just yet until I’m ready to,” added a third.
Plum is a vital part of the Aces team, so it’s expected that she will see a lot of minutes in the first half of a game. Trying to do an interview while also catching your breath isn’t easy.
Kelsey Plum Is Having A Great 2024 Season
Plum has been an All-Star for the past three seasons, and it seems she is just getting started.
Through 36 games, she’s averaging 17.8 points, 4.3 assists, and 2.4 rebounds per game.
Her 2022 season certainly looks better on a stat sheet, but at 29 years old, she doesn’t show too many signs of slowing down.
It’s also worth noting that Plum is currently helping lead her team to a playoff appearance with a 24-13 record.
