“If you don’t wanna get it, you don’t want it badly”: $1.5 million NIL-valued Flau’jae Johnson drops word of wisdom about ambition and work ethic

LSU Tigers guard Flau’jae Johnson inspired fans and advised them on the principles that have helped her. The moment came during an outdoor workout Instagram clip posted by Overtime WBB in collaboration with Johnson on Wednesday.

Johnson spoke about what it takes to succeed. The 21-year-old guard, already valued at $1.5 million in NIL deals (via On3), shared a powerful message about motivation, hard work and discipline.

“If somebody has to get up to make you go get it, you don’t want it,” Johnson said. “If you want it, you go get it. If you don’t wanna get it, you don’t want it badly. Before you start wasting your parents' money, ask yourself if you want it. Let me tell you, I do.”

Johnson’s fierce mentality matched her performance. Last season, she averaged 18.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game for the LSU Tigers, shooting nearly 47% from the field.

As both an athlete and rapper, Johnson is one of the most marketable young stars in college sports.
