I try to keep my W/NBA comparison to a minimum. But when ANYONE finds themselves in BILL RUSSELL territory we gotta stop and give Flowers. A'ja is SO great.

Jewell Loyd on what this moment is like for her after what she went through last season in Seattle:

" I was kind of written off in exile, but I ended up in promise land."

A'ja Wilson then shook her pink tambourine in support of the answer.

Sorry Phoenix fans. Very tough to lose in 4 but this run was so fun and gritty. The 20 point comeback in game 2 against Minnesota was an instant classic. AT legacy playoffs for sure. Kah had some incredible games. Sabally too. I was excited coming into the year and they didn't disappoint.

A’ja Wilson is the first player to win #WNBA MVP, Defensive Player of the Year and Finals MVP in the same season. She joins Lisa Leslie in winning both of those a’wards twice.

Teams that take a 3-0 lead in a best of 7 series in the #WNBA, MLB, NBA and NHL now have a 369-5 (.987) series record. Basketball teams that do it are now 77-44 (.636) in finishing off the sweep.

The Aces join the Houston Comets, who won the first four #WNBA titles, as the only teams with three championships in four years.

I hate this for Kah. She strapped the team on her back and carried them to within single digits.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.
