If you need a MRI you have to wait weeks more than likely. For the insurance to be authorized. I’ll take the low cost if my wait time is going to be similar.
Kelly: My husband, we were in Canada. He got sick. He was in the emergency room three days. His bill was $800 for three days. We could not do that in the USA, being in the emergency room three days and only $800.
Jennings: I think describing the Canadian system where people wait weeks and weeks or months and months and months for very basic health care procedures, you do not want that here. I promise you.
Once again, wrong. MJ was ascending but did not take the mantle of “face of the league” until he had accomplishments. He brought more eyes with his style, proved himself year after year with consistency in stats, then took that leap where he won every major individual award in 87
To put it simply, Caitlin Clark is the face of the WNBA because she is the most prominent, marketable, and recognizable individual in the WNBA.
She is not currently the best player in the WNBA. That’s A’Ja Wilson.
The nuance that you are missing is that being the most popular player, recognizable player, biggest draw and bringing in the most money for the WNBA for 3 years now despite not winning a MVP or WNBA Championship, giving the players the ammo to get chartered flights with a new CBA that increased some players base salary by 1,400% and being the single player that globally other people recognize makes her the face of the WNBA.
To be the standard of winning in the WNBA will take Caitlin Clark some time.
Michael Jordan was the face of the NBA well before he was the standard of winning and before he ever won an NBA Championship or MVP because of his playing style and savvy branding.
Everyone knew if they beat MJ or had the game to their life against him that everyone would notice because all eyes were on him.
That is why teams play every game against the Indiana Fever like it is their Super Bowl.
That is why every player with a competitive bone in their body plays Caitlin Clark like they have something to prove to the world.
They know when they do it against Caitlin Clark, the world will notice.
Having the first 45 point 10 assists double double in WNBA History and the first 45 point 10 assists double double in 29 mins in NBA or WNBA History shows the talent and rare playing style Caitlin Clark possesses.
It’s okay to say that A’Ja Wilson is the best player in the WNBA.
It’s okay to say Olivia Miles is the best rookie and one of the best guards in the WNBA.
It’s okay to say that Angel Reese is the best rebounder in the WNBA.
And it’s okay to say that Caitlin Clark is the Face of the WNBA.
At the EARLIEST he started becoming the face in 87. He solidified it in 92. Clark is on a similar trajectory with bringing the eyes due to her style of play and is ascending but y’all are too quick to entitle her. Once she wins MVP you have a point. Maybe even once we see the
Hunter Biden: “I believe the biggest problem in America is not the oligarchy, it’s the closetocracy. Everybody knows there is this closeted gay mafia, largely Republican, that exists in DC. The only reason that is relevant is I believe that internal conflict creates so much vitriol inside a person that they take it out on the rest of the world”

RUMOR: Ryan Coogler is reportedly overseeing the casting of Storm, who will appear in ‘BLACK PANTHER 3’.
They want to make her the second most powerful mutant after Jean Grey, while showcasing her full potential on the big screen for the first time.

@RGIII You’re missing something. Both MJ and LeBron were MVP recipients when they were being elevated to being the “face of the league.” CC has neither a championship or a MVP. You cannot be ascended to that level without a major accomplishment.
Whenever I come across a Black punk band, I gotta share the content. Because I'm personally tired of niggaz living in nostalgia waiting for White people to make the music we want to hear.
Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while *he* was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.
All of this seems to be accessible. You could just pull up and play. Now all of it has a cost. Let’s not even get into suburban neighborhoods removing basketball goals
I randomly take drives, do you know what I notice?
Empty Basketball Courts
Empty Football Fields
Empty Baseball Fields
Empty Parks
Empty Skate Parks
Empty Soccer Fields
Stephen A. Smith GOES OFF on the idea that a child could get a sex change without parental consent.
"You can't tell my child to go across the DAMN STREET without my permission."
"What the hell are you [Gavin Newsom] doing, signing off, verbally or otherwise, on the notion that a kid can do something like that, like a sex change, without parental consent?"
"The hell is wrong with people?!"
With 20 games remaining in her third season, Angel Reese is on pace to:
✨Join 1999 MVP Yolanda Griffith and 2012 MVP Tina Charles as the only players in WNBA history to average a double-double in each of their first three seasons.
✨Join 2017 MVP Sylvia Fowles as the only player in WNBA history to record a double-double season with multiple franchises.
Chiney Ogwumike on Angel Reese: @Reese10Angel
“ I think her defense is so underrated … she can lock anybody up, get steals on anybody, one of the best defensive players no matter where she is on the floor” HEAVY ON SHE CAN LOCK ANYBODY UP AND GET STEALS ON ANYBODY.

The literacy crisis isn’t that people can’t read the words. It’s that they can’t understand the context, infer meaning, recognise nuance, identify contradictions, or draw logical conclusions from what they’ve read.
Shannon sharpe exposing the double standards. They never want to talk about Kobe Bryant blowing a 3-1 lead against the phoenix suns and refusing to shoot in a game 7 but always want to talk about LeBron James and that Dallas mavericks series
The belief in human decency is a fallacy. At least when capitalism is the main objective. Corners will always be cut leaving consumers at risk. And with the monopolization of specific industries, this becomes way more crucial to pay attention to. We’re fucked.
My problem is companies couldn’t wait to have less restrictions and roll back on what protects consumers with this administration when they did not have to.
But bc they are no longer required to, were exposed to glass and parasites in food.
Embarrassing.
