She has a chance to change woman’s hoops she’s always the best player on the court. Could be the Jordan of wnba

More like the curry/magic of the wnba

[@anthonytaylor7928]

Not alyiah Boston . Ryne Howard . Aja Wilson whos young and has a ton of accolades ? Haley Jones . Zia cooke. The point guard for notre dame had an awesome freshman year . And a ton of other players who are just as good and has the same stats or better they can't change the womens game ?

@@richardkuyath3590 I hear u on that I think it's a disgrace and the wnba wants to get paid and this that what league u know cuts first round draft picks without giving them a chance because a bunch of selfish veterans try to hold on to roster spots look at sue bird they celebrate her but she does nothing but hold up a spot look at Washington mystics Delle don is a ball hog and ices out Shakira Austin the number two pick attractive young lady she would be good for marketing . Aja Wilson young with all of her accomplishments they don't market her the wnba needs to move and promote young talent look at how these arenas were filled during the tournament .but I guess it's gonna take the great white hope u know who for them to roll out the red carpet for any of the other players who are just as deserving to get traction as far as marketing and promotion

Superstar? Go ask 100 random people who this is, how many will know......Throwing around the word superstar, I honestly don't think there has ever been a female ball player who was a superstar. Superstars transcend sports, and people who don't watch sports know their names.

[@stormyweather9917]

@The Kanthal Kid I always thought of Sheryl Swoopes as a Superstar!

[@Orion26DML]

I’m confused. If she promotes equity on and off the court… Why does she play so many minutes? Take so many shots? Shouldn’t some of those go to the players playing the least minutes and taking the least shots? Why stop there? Why not give up her spot to someone who couldn’t afford to be there? Or to some under represented group? I don’t think that word means what she thinks it means. Surprised nobody else picked up on that.

You are confused. You should have stopped right there.

Yeah, some of us did. In WOKEISM, the goal is to make everyone "equal" so that no one shines more than anyone else. Ibram Henry Rogers' books tell us that. That's why parents and their kids need school choice. The slogan: "OUR KIDS! OUR CHOICE!"
