The league has never been that good, I believe. Great games night in night out from all teams. Lots of fun.
I know it’s easy to support the top dog, but the Aces are insanely good. Some of the best position-less basketball you will ever see. I think about Jackie Young’s legs now when I shoot a three. She has the best form. Kelsey Plum is like a cartoonish Tasmanian daredevil going to the basket, good luck stopping that. Kiah Stokes has been improving at the speed of a missile (board women get paid!). And of course Chelsea Grey and A’ja Wilson are just killing it.
I love the Mystics. Natasha Cloud’s dimes are like perfect 100% of the time, it’s beautiful to watch. Brittney Sykes has always been fantastic but this year she’s showing it and despite her talent that would allow her to be selfish, she passes the ball and pushes her teammates. It’s beautiful to see.
New York! I didn’t think that big group would mesh but the Liberty certainly did and have been fabulous this year. Shout out to Ms. Laney who low key has kept her team together with her dope defense and strong offense.
Connecticut! The Sun is shining over there, thanks to the awesomeness of AT (that’s Alyssa Thomas for you), who has the best running form to me. I know, kind of random, but it’s great like that.
Atlanta! Rhyne Howard is a pleasure to watch shoot that ball and their teamwork with Ms. Grey and Ms. Parker is strong. The Dream are always going at it, never giving up.
Dallas! Oh my god, Arike Ogunbowale is so phenomenal it’s disgusting sometimes. There’s no one to stop her, it’s only her missing from time to time. Meanwhile Satou Sabally has been killing it on fast breaks and has had magnificent games this year.
Lefties? Between Kelsey, Ariel, Satou, A’ja, Tiffany, Natisha, Odyssey, Allisha, Nia, I’m watching left-handed goodness.
Lastly shout out to Dijonai Carrington. She is so relentless, borderline reckless and I love it. Watch out for injuries, boo.
