Raven Johnson Draws Attention for What She Said About Fever Coach Stephanie White

Fans Pinpoint Raven Johnson’s Unhinged Humor After Stephanie White Comment

“RAV…JUST SAY WHATEVER COMES OUT. GOTTA LOVE HER. ❤️ Ms.Swiper,” a fan wrote.

“This kid has so much personality. She should be getting endorsements soon. I can see why they drafted her even though they needed forward help. She is a charismatic leader,” stated another.

Johnson has always been quite vocal in anything she does. Be it bossing the basketball court as the general or expressing her stance in the clearest possible way, the Fever rookie doesn’t take a step back. And as this incident turns out, it seems that she is confident enough in the press conference to express her admiration for head coach Stephanie White’s partner.

Now, of course, this confidence wasn’t alone to get her drafted her to Indiana Fever but these comments perfectly reflect Johnson’s upbeat personality that the fans are quietly falling in love with.

“So basically she’s learned nothing basketball related…” remarked another fan.

“The reporters love Raven 😂😭😭😭😭” chimed in another.

It’s quite certain that Johnson’s answer came as a surprise to many as most would have thought that a tactical answer was incoming. Especially for a rookie in her first year to comment on her head coach’s wife does take some serious guts. While some fans might feel that John was digressing away from her basketball assignment with White, but it isn’t that. Soon after her jolly remark on White’s partner Lisa Salters, Johnson quickly reflected on the Fever head coach’s exploits on the court.

“She’s teaching me a lot of things, she gets on me. I think she’s a great coach, a great person to go to, and I ask her a lot of questions often,” the Fever rookie said. And if there are any doubts of Johnson’s jolly behavior during the press interview, that’s who she’s actually is: unhinged at times, straightforward, and topped with sarcasm. Some might feel it a bit over the top but that sarcasm comes naturally to her.

“I hope she soften up that fan base and let this season be enjoyable for her and everyone,” summed up another.

Johnson is blending quite well with her Indiana Fever entourage ever since her advent to the team training camp. From an on-court perspective, we’ve seen her be in her element and dominate the court by dishing out assists (18 points and 14 assists in the three preseason games). Stephanie White has already taken note of these performances, remarking that she will have to draw out more minutes for Johnson.

“I love her energy,” White said after the Dallas Wings loss. “We’ve got to find minutes for her. And we’ve got to find minutes for her in a good rotation.” But from an off-court scenario as well, we’ve seen her not get too much reserved in her media availability sessions and just be herself. The latest one where she cracked a joke about her coach’s partner just adds weight to it.

All in all, it’s just a matter of time when we’ll see a packed-up Gainbridge Fieldhouse iterate chants of Raven! Raven! quite similar to the ones she received during her South Carolina days. For now, Johnson will have to sync even more efficiently with her head coach from an on-court perspective as there won’t be any room for excuses when the regular season starts for Fever on May 8 against the Dallas Wings.
