The Down Low
Stef is an All-Star center known for her pick and roll game and shooting. On defense, she is known to pick up a lot of fouls, although she will act as though she has never fouled in her life.

Know Your Meme
Stef is not afraid to call out floppers (read: falling over to attempt to get the refs to call a foul on your opponent). Big Mama accused Natalie Achonwa of flopping in a mid-game interview one year. I encourage you to use the exact same intonation as Stef when you want to make a similar accusation.
