That was intense…

A female athletic trainer has gone viral once again following the resurfacing of a video on social media. The woman in question, Dr. Courtney Watson, was shown massaging a Team USA basketball player on the bench.

It appears the player was dealing with a groin injury, which she dug into with a vigorous massage.

Check it out in the video below:

Admittedly, the optics aren’t very PG, so the comments flowed in accordingly.

“Does she do requests,” someone wondered.

“Never wanted to be ballr that bad,” another user confessed.

“How does one request this service?” asked another.

The video was initially shared around a year ago. It has resurfaced in the wake of a UCLA trainer going viral for squatting in front of an injured player on the bench.

Watson also worked as an athletic trainer for the USA Men’s and Women’s 3×3 basketball teams during the 2024 Summer Olympics, hence the video above.

She won a bronze medal with the women’s team.

She also won gold with the Women’s team at the 2022 FIBA World Cup.

Watson has quite the CV. A 23-year veteran in sports medicine, she was the first female athletic trainer in boxing, serving as a trainer for Floyd Mayweather.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
