In an unusual off-court moment that has sparked plenty of reactions, Chicago Sky rookie Kamilla Cardoso was caught red-handed, quite literally, during a recent interaction with Amazon’s voice assistant, Alexa. The incident, which occurred in the privacy of her home, quickly became a hot topic after a viral video surfaced, showing Cardoso in a moment of frustration, cursing at the smart device.
While most athletes deal with intense moments during games, it seems that the 6’7” rookie center was caught in a bit of an off-the-court battle with technology — one that fans and teammates alike are getting a laugh out of.
The Incident: A Frustrated Moment
According to sources, the rookie, known for her dominating presence on the basketball court, had a brief but heated exchange with Alexa after the virtual assistant apparently misunderstood a command. In the video, Cardoso can be seen asking Alexa a routine question, which, after several miscommunications, led to the Sky star dropping a few expletives in frustration.
Though the words were strong, the situation itself was fairly lighthearted. Cardoso’s reaction was a combination of exasperation and amusement, as she realized she was stuck in a comedic loop of miscommunication with a device designed to make life easier.
“I swear Alexa has something against me,” Cardoso joked afterward, referencing the video that has since made the rounds on social media.
Fan Reactions: Lighthearted Fun
As the video gained traction, fans of Kamilla Cardoso and the Chicago Sky responded with humor, filling the comments sections with playful jabs about her misadventures with technology. Many praised the rookie’s authenticity, noting that it was a relatable moment—who hasn’t been frustrated with Alexa or another smart assistant at some point?
“Kamilla going 1-on-1 with Alexa is a match we didn’t know we needed!” one fan tweeted, while others chimed in with jokes about the tough battle Cardoso faced off the court.
Even some of Cardoso’s teammates from the Sky got in on the action, playfully teasing the rookie during team practices. “She can handle big moments in the paint, but Alexa? That’s her kryptonite,” one teammate reportedly quipped.
