Fans Offer Confused Congratulations to Chennedy Carter For ‘Good Temper Award’ Win

Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter is not known for her calm demeanor in the women’s basketball community.

Whether this reputation is justified or not, it stems primarily from an incident she had with Fever superstar Caitlin Clark in June, where she seemed to swear at the 22-year-old before forcefully bumping her to the ground during a game.

Carter had faced challenges in her previous turbulent stints with the Atlanta Dream and Los Angeles Sparks before returning to the WNBA with the Sky in 2024.

However, Carter is now receiving recognition for her progress overseas. She is spending the WNBA offseason playing for Wuhan Shengfan in the Women’s Chinese Basketball Association (WCBA). Recently, it was revealed on social media that Carter was awarded a “Good Temper Award” and 10,000 yuan (approximately $1,380) for “her achievements in emotional management”.

Some fans are puzzled by this announcement.

“I thought this was centel 😭😭😭,” X user @jaylonjuice commented, referring to a notorious X account that spreads false information for attention.

Another fan added, “I don’t know how to feel about this 🫠”.

However, many other fans congratulated Carter for winning the award and acknowledged the growth it represents.

“Y’all laughing and stuff but I actually love the fact that she’s putting in the work and being acknowledged and praised for it, this stuff is not always easy to do. Proud of my bae,” one X user wrote.

“Awww, we love her growth and can’t wait to witness the wonders she’ll create on the court with her scoring abilities in Sky Town next season🤗,” another person commented.

Perhaps this award will help change the perception of Carter within the WNBA community and show that she is moving beyond her past reputation.
