@OHSportsGirl @harleyyy_702 @OwenPence MVPs don’t always play on winning teams. Look at the nba. Jokic got it when his team wasn’t good.

@harleyyy_702 @OwenPence MVPs usually come from one of the top winning teams.
They were paying players under the table and giving them other benefits such as paid private school education and that helped them put together the best roster in the league
They cheated competition

I think there’s a larger convo to be had about sustained, unprecedented greatness being deemed boring and unspectacular.
It intersects with the irksome urge to overlook A’ja Wilson - a 3-time champ and 4-time MVP - as someone deserving of “Face of the League” status.

@mrgibber45 @hovah76 Shooting guards shoot and score. Point guards assist. CC is a PG and KM is a SG.

The WNBA has just desperately named Caitlin Clark as the AP Player of the Week.😂😂
You can’t make this stuff up.
English
They said she couldn’t do it.
She answered with HISTORY. 🏀🔥
Caitlin Clark just dropped the highest-scoring game ever by a point guard in WNBA history. 👑
English
@ImSickaYall This isn’t college. There’s no transfer portal. They’re under contract so they’re stuck unless they demand a trade and sit out until it happens.
English
If they both leave it’s the organization fault. But I truly don’t see them staying if they don’t change drastically by next year.
Paige nor Azzi will settle for first round exits when they come from a championship caliber organization
.@ayodeji_21
Is this the Wings' plan for Azzi long term? To be the 4th option on offense while carrying the defense for a good part of her career because the $1m 6'4 big doesn't play defense? They're obviously gonna give Jess a max contract & won't trade Arike so what's the development plan?

Everything has become so political in every walk of life - Schools are being political - Churches are being political - The medical field is political and now we see so much politics in sports.
These stats explain a lot about what's happening with the women in the WNBA.
Have you seen these stats? Only 5 players in the NBA/WNBA history have made 45 points - 10+assists - 4+steals - 2+blocks in one game and take a look at who they were....
BUT ONLY ONE DID IT IN LESS THAN 30 MINUTES - CAITLIN CLARK.
We have seen the way Caitlin has been treated because it's not politically correst to treat all the players the same, but stats don't lie and they tell the tale.
English
@JaimeLardis The schedule for broadcast is made before the season starts. So they can’t just change it.
English
Why are the Phoenix Mercury and Connecticut Sun on ESPN playing primetime? We’re talking about the 13th and 14th place teams. That’s the kind of marketing I’m always talking about. That ESPN slot could’ve gone to so many better matchups. This might end up being one of the least-watched national TV games of the season. I may be the only viewer. Me and Jemele Hill.

Caitlin Clark in Last 2 games [B2B] :
62 PTS
17 AST
Caitlin. Clark. Her.
English
@LaramieDavies @Astuma @Riley_Gaines_ She’s out of Phoenix for sleeping with an exec. What an amazing role model.
English
@Astuma @Riley_Gaines_ Brian I don’t think you understand. Little confused. We need more Sophie’s in the world.
English
This is what it's about.
If the league was smart, they'd lean in to Sophie. Fans love her & young athletes look up to her!
Scott Agness@ScottAgness
Every camper gets a photo with Cunningham. And, as you’d expect, they all want to do the signature point
English
@HitFactoryPod They don’t get it because she did much worse with the ref the other night with no tech called so they think it’s ok. They also don’t get that a coach can’t challenge a no call.
English
for those who don't follow the w or are curious about context - the reason caitlin clark was called for a technical foul after opposing a no-call on this screen is because she committed a technical foul after a no-call on a perfectly legal screen.

Caitlin Clark was called for a technical foul after opposing a no-call on this screen
English
@power_ties So just don’t have refs or players play with her or against her. Just let her go out there for 40 straight minutes every time so her cult won’t complain.
English
Ref #42 Roy Gulbeyan is the Ref who called Caitlin for a Technical as he watched Johannes shove Caitlin into the screener. A play that could have taken Caitlin out. So why not let a player rake their fingernails across Caitlin's eyes...
Like referees in a 1940's roller derby league, this corrupt Commissioner’s 34

@Reemomofthree They have to bring her into every conversation. Always. It’s like they just look and see it’s about basketball and their leader isn’t mentioned so they have to mention her. It’s an illness at this point.
English
@CannyZanny The owners are the nets owners. They won’t fire the coach. Do you see what they’ve done to the nets?
English
Their fans should want that. Because if they sneak in then that man gets another year.
baige pueckers🗽@fleetwoodrapp
liberty really about to not make the playoffs huh 😭😭😭😭😭😭
English
Angel had the chance right here to do something good.
Very easily could have said, ive spoken to Sandy, I understand the phrase has zero racial undertone. We're good.
Instead, she doubled down that she's a victim. Again.
Pathetic.

Angel Reese's statement on Sandy Brondello's apology: (🎥 via @_MalikATL)
English
@maestroxv_ Even if she’s the #2 on a team would be great for her accomplishments to be celebrated by that teams fans instead of diminished because she’s getting attention instead of the other player who has a cult.
English
When Kelsey Mitchell leaves for the Valkyries or Liberty she’ll be a superstar lol. She’s the Dame of the league, would probably have a couple rings if she wasn’t so loyal.
Nothing wrong with being a #2 but she’s never going to get the respect she deserves. Even from those fans
New York Post@nypost
Liberty crushed by Caitlin Clark, Fever after unraveling in pitiful third quarter trib.al/s31to4e
English
I thought Sandy's apology was sincere until she did a follow up interview and blamed it all on Australian slang when she's been here 25+ years, are familiar with the culture and the hate surrounding not just Angel but Black women. Now, her first apology in my eyes was BS too.
Renee@PettyLupone
Glad Angel’s fans had her back, glad she advocated for herself, and I think Sandy’s apology was sincere. However, I don’t want the WNBA to think this erases the need for proactive accountability. Check yo refs. Check yo media. Own your shit. Period.
English
@autumntjohnson @PhoenixMercury That is probably the coolest part of it. How many people can say they broke a record and the other player was there on an opposing team? And congratulated them? So much class there!
English
@PhoenixMercury Great game! Loved that Griner was there and hugged her.
English
DeWanna Bonner just became the Phoenix Mercury’s all-time leader in rebounds.
Congratulations DB! 💜
English
@ArlenRWard @daGodBrand I’m sure your cult leader is very proud of things you say in her name. Her cult is insufferable. Which is why people don’t like her.
English
@daGodBrand Your cock must be so small talentless jobless fuck lol call me when your net worth reaches her. Otherwise get in your knees boy and kiss my white ass

@pd8779 @KnicksCentral State Farm arena has a ton of events year round and they still manage to have real grass and we’re in the desert. Player safety should be important considering how many season ending injuries occurred there last season.
English
@KnicksCentral as Tiki Barber said. there are so many different events at Met Life would be a massive investment to maintain the grass. .also Jets and Giants don't own the stadium
English
Wild that MetLife likely rips up this beautiful grass and puts down that trash turf before the Jets and Giants kickoff the new season
Jermaine Eluemunor@JEluemunor
Damn this Grass is beautiful, they should keep it 👀
English
@MichaelDSebast As a Yankee fan we boo all the time. The players know why it’s happening. When asked about it they never complain. They always say they understand the frustration and that they’re frustrated too.
English
Yeah #Dbacks fans. Dont boo our players when they give up 5 runs early in a must win game. BE APPRECIATIVE!! It could’ve been worse! Just don’t boo. Never boo players. Just wrong to boo players who lose us games
Jack Sommers@shoewizard59
Eduardo Rodriguez' worst start of year results in 5 earned runs in just 2.2 innings. His ERA ballooned from 2.29 to 2.62 as a result Never a good time for a regression to the mean start, but especially tough coming vs Cardinals. Also tough to hear boos for Chase Field fans :(
