Nika Muhl Pays Respect To WNBA Legend With Viral Pregame Outfit
Seattle Strom rookie Nika Muhl walked into Climate Pledge Arena for a home matchup against the Dallas Wings on Saturday with a show-stopping outfit. The first-year player out of UConn has been turning heads all season with her outfits, but her most recent fashion choice paid respect to former WNBA star Swin Cash.
Muhl showed a bit of causal and class in the look. She was rocking a Swin Cash Team USA jersey with long denim shorts and red heels. Muhl also added her shades, which she's described as the most important piece of her outfits.
Cash has undoubtedly made a lasting mark on the game of basketball. She left the league as a 3x WNBA Champion and 4x WNBA All-Star. Cash is now the vice president of basketball operations for the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA.

The Croatian native honored the all-time great, and the Storm's official social media account on X responded with "Iconic." Their photo on X has already earned over 15,000 viewers just a couple of minutes into the post.
Muhl has mostly shined off the court during her short time in the WNBA. She's averaged 0.5 rebounds and 0.1 assists in two minutes of game action.
Despite Muhl not having much playing time in her rookie season, she's explained that she's grateful to learn from the players on her team and hopes to eventually make an impact on the hardwood.
