when i was developing it i actually did make that mistake and had to code around it so that people couldn't select the same player multiple times

me and my clones of paige will overtake the league

So players were put into pods based on a statistical ranking of their previous season and data. The Breeze / Hive were new teams so they get to go first, and the breeze won a coin flip so they get first draft pick. Then the hive

Then the teams who didn't make playoffs w/ expansion. And then normal

I think this might be the first real rain I've seen since I moved to California last year.

Cory McDonald @corywmcdonald.com · Sep 24

thank you! 😊 hoping to bring a lot more great stuff out later this year and next season!

I worked hard and spent all weekend building out hint drops and the graphics on the Unrivaled website! Excited to see all the new subscribers to our newsletter and everyone play the guessing game.

So proud of everything that we're building!

Seattle and umbrellas??? 🤔🤔🤔

The good thing is that Unrivaled is adding two new teams and eliminating back to backs to help prevent this

Cory McDonald @corywmcdonald.com · Sep 10

I mean I think the teams have to be different because not all the same players are coming back so there would be unequal matchups!

Kelsey was signed up last year! But then resigned so hopefully she comes back

She did the finger guns after a 3 at Mabrey and Marina didn’t like that one bit

Salaün and Jewell Lloyd got into it a bit earlier in the game, when Lloyd tied up Salaün for a jump when sinking into the lane on Salaün's cut. Then, the pretty clear flagrant two.

After having TSA Precheck for so many years I’m shocked at the liquid restriction of 4 oz in this European airport. The scanners in America seem to be so much better and throwing away my sunscreen I just bought because of an extra 50ml is so dumb. 😡

It was a season ticket holder exclusive! Members had to RSVP with their account ID and then show their codes after the game!

Natalie complimented Kerr and the Warriors around their ability to pass the ball, and have fun while on the court. When she first joined a little less than a year ago, she sat in on some of the coaching meetings and took some lessons. It's clearly paying off because we almost beat the champions!

After the #GSV game last night, Steve Kerr and Natalie Nakase gave a chalk talk. They spoke about their coaching experiences, what they loved about the game, and the culture of the #valkyries. The key takeaway was that Nat hopes to build a culture of joy and selflessness surrounding basketball.

Steve Kerr paying Natalie Nakase a compliment while she smiles humbly with her hand on her head.

Watching the Mystics home game is like a blast from the 90's because the video quality is always so bad.

This Valkyries game is stressing me out!

Cory McDonald @corywmcdonald.com · Jun 10

My hope is that they fell apart early so it’s not like the mercury game
