My wife came across this article on Court.  A long read but worthwhile IMO.  https://www.sbnation.com/2019/5/23/18637099/courtney-williams-connecticut-sun-trash-talk-profile

On August 23, 2018, Courtney Williams had the audacity to rankle the GOAT.

Before the Connecticut Sun played the Phoenix Mercury in the playoffs, the slim, 5’8 guard posted her traditional gameday Instagram photo. In it, she is jumping for joy while a stone-faced Diana Taurasi — arguably the greatest WNBA player of all time — stalks the court in the foreground. The caption read, “Gooo timeee!! Playoffs babyyyyy.”

Williams led the Sun with 27 points in the single-elimination game, and gave them the lead late in the fourth quarter with a four-point play. The Sun would only score four more points over the final four-plus minutes, however, as the Mercury went on to win, 96-86. After the game, Taurasi clapped back.

“You can post Instagram pictures, you can clap in people’s faces,” Taurasi told ESPN’s Holly Rowe in the postgame interview, also referring to a moment when the Sun’s Jasmine Thomas clapped in Taurasi’s face after drawing a foul. “That’s not going to get you a win, though.”

Throughout Williams’ three seasons in the WNBA, she’s managed to fly under the national radar. If you’ve missed her career thus far, maybe you even think that calling out the biggest name in the game was an attempt to draw attention. But you’d be wrong; Williams wasn’t trying to get under Taurasi’s skin (though perhaps she wasn’t not trying). ...............

She was one of the main reasons we bought season tickets when we did. Now we've still got them.

She was such  a baller, i never even realized how short she was. I always thought she was like 5'10/5'11
