I haven’t done a lot of writing lately, but I really enjoyed this piece where I went a little deeper on the Phoenix Mercury and Alyssa Thomas’ MVP campaign:

Going to be taking a step back from the @theixbasketball.bsky.social Phoenix Mercury beat. Will still have a story coming out next week but follow @kgier.bsky.social for in-depth coverage for the time being. Working 4 jobs at this point in my career is unrealistic and I have to take care of myself.
