Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve called Nneka Ogwumike, the WNBA’s MVP, the “biggest flopper in the league” at least four times while mic’d up on ESPN2 during Game 2 of the Finals. Ogwumike, who also wore a microphone, was sad to hear that and her disappointed reaction was heard in what felt like a comedy sketch.

Only good things can happen when everyone is wearing a mic all the time. Take note, other sports.
