    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.”
