Jordin Canada hilariously explained the viral picture of her screen on Jonquel Jones

Poor Jordin Canada. She was going THROUGH IT.

Atlanta Dream guard Jordin Canada‘s screen on Jonquel Jones during a game against the New York Liberty on June 30 had hoops fans cracking up. Jordin recently revealed why that whole exchange was so funny.

As Atlanta was mid-game during a matchup against New York, a play was called for a guard to set a screen for a post player. Canada (5-foot-6) didn’t hesitate to set a screen on Jonquel Jones (6-foot-6) for her teammate, Tina Charles, to knock an easy jumper.

But, what was optically a hilarious moment for those watching was pretty tough for Jordin Canada. While preparing for a game against the Chicago Sky on Tuesday, Jordin revealed to For The Win what was actually happening during that moment:

“Well, the play was [called] for a guard to set a screen for the four. So, that was my job…I will say I wasn’t smiling.”

“I actually was really like grimacing because how difficult it is to set a screen on someone like J.J. or [Breanna Stewart] because they are so big…I was just trying to be aggressive.”

I spoke to Jordin Canada earlier about her hilarious screen she set on 6-foot-6 Jonquel Jones on Sunday:

“I will say I wasn’t smiling. I actually was really like grimacing because how difficult it is to set a screen on someone like JJ or like [Breanna Stewart]…”
