WNBA player Sami Whitcomb loses gum after nailing three-pointer, picks it up and hits another

Seattle Storm guard Sami Whitcomb raised eyebrows Saturday when the gum she was chewing fell out of her mouth in between three-pointers.

Sami Whitcomb of the Seattle Storm celebrates a three-point basket during the game against the New York Liberty on July 8, 2023, in Brooklyn, New York.

The ESPN broadcast caught the gum moment and WNBA legend Rebecca Lobo broke it down for the audience. "When your gum is lucky, your gum is lucky," Lobo said."So, if you just hit a three, cheer, it falls out of your mouth, what do you do Ryan Ruocco? You put it right back in. You want to know why? Because that gum is lucky. What happens the next time down the floor? She drains another three."The Liberty, however, survived the lucky gum and won the game, 80-76.
