The closest WNBA franchise to St. Louis just so happens to be based up the I-55 in Chicago, but one of its most famous hometown kids apparently recognizes the talent of the W.
The Lou’s very own Nelly performed at the home arena of the Connecticut Sun – Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. While on stage, he shouted out one of New England’s most notable star athletes that is very familiar with the Constitution State.

Yes – that is an All-Star jersey of the Sun’s Jonquel Jones, who was drafted in 2016 by the Los Angeles Sparks with the sixth overall pick, but has already established quite a resume for herself. She has made two All-Star appearances, was the WNBA’s 2017 Most Improved Player, the 2018 Sixth Woman of the Year, made a WNBA Finals appearance last year and will likely be in the title picture again with the Sun in 2020.
What can we say? Real recognize real.
