One thing I love about the #WNBA is that I enjoy watching everyone perform.
I'm working on a personal Top Ten list, but it's too long for the format here.
Given the shit show we're seeing at 1600 PA Ave, I can understand the anger. I just wish it didn't spill over into this beautiful space.

Women's basketball is a funny thing for me.
I've followed men's bball forever (60+ yrs), & H*TE my teams' rivals: Tarheels ( #Duke), & Pistons ( #Bulls).
I *like* my women's teams' rivals. I'd love to see Texas win it all if my #Gamecocks stumble. If my #Fever can't win it all: go Aces, go Dream!

We are a fairly "blue" group here. So, a little survey on what Libs prefer.
It looks like most of you prefer Aeropress or French press.
Is that about right?
I, for one, prefer espresso. Although any well prepared coffee is just fine with me.
Am I an outlier?0

IMHO, Lauren Betts is going to be great in the #WNBA. But,
Azi Fudd as no. 1 to the Wings makes sense - Paige may insist.
The Lynx seem to want Awa Fam - 6'4" center from Spain.
Seattle doesn't need her because of Molanga
It looks like she'll go to the Mystics
What a steal for Washington!

I was today years old when I realized this: you can only experience "now" for a split second at a time ... unless you snap a photo of it. Then you can experience it forever.
A wonderful "now" from this weekend, shown here.

#Unrivaled; #AthletesUnlimited; #ProjectB; lucrative leagues in Europe; Expansion to 16 teams in the W.
Thus, rich people know there is a strong market for women's professional basketball.
It's (WAY past) time for the damn #WNBA owners to PICK UP THE CLUE PHONE and pay the players 50% of BRI!

Although my #UofSC Gamecocks routed the Winthrop Eagles last night, it was fun to see Semeka Randall Lay on the sidelines. She was part of the 1998 #NCAAWBB championship at Tennessee, & was drafted 17th by Seattle in the #WNBA, 2001.
I bet the Eagles will be special in a couple of years

I started an Atlas subscription recently
They ship the coffee on the same day they roast it. The beans are so fresh, they haven't reached their peak (10-20 days after roasting, right?) when I get them
So I have to wait a week before the coffee is "right"
Am I missing something?

LeBron and I have exactly one thing in common: in our careers in #NCAAMBB college basketball, we both scored exactly zero points.

Season No. 23 for No. 23 👑
LeBron James becomes the first player in NBA history to play in 23 seasons.

I'm fairly ignorant about female bodies, specifically, and medical stuff in general.
Are there folks here that can explain to me why women basketball players (seem to?) get so many ACL tears?
Is there anything they can be doing to avoid these injuries?

We all want to pay our #WNBA women what they are worth. But the other side of that (multi-sided) coin is what we, the fans, must pay to go to games.
This article is about college football, but the same calculations apply to every other sport. Required reading!

The Real USC ( #UofSC, last night's victor over Southern Cal) was called for traveling a lot!
Were #NCAAWCBB refs influenced by all the hilarious memes of men travelling during bball games (4, 5, 7 steps!) and are now going to enforce this original Naismith rule?

The 13 Original Rules of Basketball
In 1892, Dr. Naismith wrote out the 13 original rules of basketball. QHF looks at how the rules and game-line markings evolved.

The natural color of wood is beautiful, for sure.
But, ...
Natural wood floors make the players look terrible. And the Gamecocks are wearing all black, which makes it look even worse.
It's not traditional, but painted grey floors make the players easier to see.

If only it was so easy to have the winner be "The Real USC" for a year. My USC (in Columbia, SC) has been fighting this losing battle for my entire lifetime.

This is the Right Coast SC’s first real test on a non-conference schedule that isn’t quite as aggressive as it’s been in years past (although still more aggressive than most). As far as I’m concerned it’s the first meaningful look at the new-look Gamecocks. #NCAAWBB
