- “I’m Going to Start a Riot” – Georgia Amoore Makes Wild Admission About Mystics Teammate
Georgia Amoore isn't holding back on praising a Washington Mystics player after the Indiana Fever win. According to the 25-year-old guard, one of her teammates has been making a difference in every game.
Following the 93-77 victory over the Fever, Amoore showered Shakira Austin with praise for her improved play. The 25-year-old guard said, "If she doesn't get Most Improved Player, I'm going to start a literal riot."
"Because the way she's playing — it's efficiency, night in and night out … Not many people play both sides of the ball as efficiently and aggressively as she does, and she makes a difference on both ends of the floor."

"Just her ability to finish plays. I love saying that a play is not done until Shakira decides it's done … I think she's just channeled her aggression. She's channeled her emotions to just see red, no pun intended … and I think that's what makes her so special."
