Which means there are more years of her running the league.

Super excited for what else she improves on.

Quan Burton @quantessentialr.bsky.social · 5h

That’s what I’m saying.

Quan Burton @quantessentialr.bsky.social · 5h

I meant it as her being even greater than she is now. Like there’s more to come.

Mark Davis paid $2M to buy the Las Vegas Aces in 2021.

$40M training facility opens in 2023.

3 titles in 4 years. Valuation in June 2025 made them worth $310M. Pretty sure that’s going to be higher next time.

15,400% increase so far.

He invested. Time for the WNBA to put that investment back

Who else brings a tambourine to a press conference? A 🐐 does.

The streets had A’Ja as fifth for MVP before the season began.

A’Ja snapped her fingers after that 53 point loss, and won everything. She became Basketball Thanos.

Quan Burton @quantessentialr.bsky.social · 19h

Can we really question anything about her at this point?

Tonight was Alyssa Thomas' 58th playoff game, and she does not have a ring. She's been SO SO close, so seeing her go down like that is so awful.

It also says these women deserve every penny they're asking for. And not a penny less.

WNBA playoffs turning into a game of attrition and the ACES being the ones to benefit from that is kinda crazy

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
