Belatedly reading about this and as always really important to remind people in *every breath* that when the right talks about “woke” and “DEI” they are talking about the cultural and political wins of the civil rights movement. This arrangement existed for 52 years because of historical activism.

Final question of the post-Finals press conference gave Chelsea Gray a chance to talk about the value of the players of the WNBA.

**When you have great players you need to treat them like that.**

And of course... the tambourine was on the ready! #WNBASky

I really enjoyed watching A’ja Wilson laugh just now at a question about Cathy getting booed.

Chelsea on CBA (A'ja punctuates her answers with tambourine shakes)
We have great players, you need to treat them like that. There’s been lot of eyes on this league, right? Everybody is stepping up to the plate, putting on performances that are legendary. It needs to be treated as such.

Would it kill the aces to have A’ja sit out this last quarter and let the mercury win just one game at home 😭

Nate Tibbetts on adjustments Mercury will make tonight:

“We’re 50-something games in. We are who we are, but at the same time you keep trying things.”

Says they will try some things tonight and give Aces some different looks.

Alyssa Thomas on the Mercury’s 4th quarter comeback:

“It’s how we should be playing from the start. It took us too long to play defense … shame on us…”

A’ja Wilson, generational talent, makes the mercury defense look like they are 4’11”. There’s 2.2 seconds left in the game and she makes the game winning shot while the whole city of Phoenix looks on in horror.
