Lynx's Napheesa Collier claps back at fan over WNBPA conspiracy claim

Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier clapped back at a fan's social media post on Saturday alleging she and Breanna Stewart have a conflict of interest as members of the WNBPA executive committee.

"So let me get this straight… Breanna Stewart is WNBPA President," the fan wrote. "Napheesa Collier is VP. They co-founded Unrivaled—a league that benefits if there’s a WNBA lockout. And they’re the ones leading CBA negotiations? How do you negotiate in good faith? Make it make sense."

For starters, the fan's claim that Stewart is the president of the player's association is false. That title is held by Nneka Ogwumike, while Collier and Stewart are VPs. As for the idea that Collier and Stewart would be compromised in CBA negotiations with the league due to their roles as founders of the women's 3-on-3 league Unrivaled, let's just say Collier finds that notion laughable.

"So let me get this straight….," Collier replied. "While everyone else was enjoying fireworks, you were thinking about how me and & Stewie of all people are conspiring to force a lockout that would result in less money year-round for WNBA players??"

Two hours after it was posted, Collier's tweet has more than seven thousand likes and over 550 thousand views.
