Really happy for Lex
It's been a tough road and she's faced a lot of criticism, and I am sure like anyone she's been her own toughest critic
I know what it is like to know that you are screwing up and trying to fix it but no matter what you do you just seem to make everything worse
She's got a long way to go to get back to where she has been in the past but tonight was a good step and frankly she's taken a couple of those recently
Under the WNBA Collective Bargaining Agreement, Natasha Cloud of the Chicago Sky should be fined or suspended after her actions against Enes Kanter Freedom during the Sky/Fever game on Sunday night.
Let’s Go WNBA, these are your own rules that you created.
If you let her go into the stands and have an altercation with someone (Enes Kanter Freedom) over a T-shirt, without any repercussions, there is no deterrent, or penalty!
I asked Caitlin Clark what she wants her legacy to be when it’s all said and done.
Her response:
“A lot of my favorite players growing up, I don’t know how many points they ever ended up scoring, or I don’t know how many three pointers they made. Hopefully, it’s just the impact that you can leave on people and the way you made them feel. And I think that’s kind of been the story of my career.
And I hope you know when I’m done playing one day, that’s what people remember the most about me is the way I’ve been able to unite people to cheer on basketball and love a game, or bring people together to you know love a sport in a way that they’ve maybe never have before.
Like there’s so many people that have come up to me and been like, I’ve never watched women’s basket before, and I don’t take offense to that. I think that’s a really cool thing to you know bring people in that have maybe never experienced something that I’ve loved all my life, and so I hope you know when I’m done.
That’s probably the the biggest thing that I’ll probably look back on my career and be proud of is just the amount of people that I’ve been able to bring in and enjoy the game that I’ve always loved since I was a young kid.”
News: WNBA has rescinded the technical foul on Caitlin Clark, which would’ve been her eighth of the season — and an automatic one-game suspension, keeping her out of Fever-Liberty on Tuesday.
That was fast. Kudos to the league for handling it so quickly.
"My dad passed away two summers ago, and his old Irish setter, Ruby, still swims out from his dock every evening. Dad had a little place on the lake, and every night after dinner, he would walk down to the end of the dock with a cup of coffee and Ruby right behind him. They would sit there together and watch the sun disappear over the water. She was his shadow for 11 years, and wherever he went, she followed. After the funeral, we brought Ruby back to my house in town because we thought keeping her close to the family was the kindest thing to do. But she never settled in. She stopped eating properly, paced through the halls at night, and spent hours standing at the back door as though she were waiting for someone. After a couple of weeks, my mom finally said what the rest of us had been avoiding. “That dog needs to go back to the lake.” Ruby lives at the lake house now, and my mom stays out there with her. Almost every evening, around the same time Dad used to take his coffee down to the water, Ruby walks slowly to the end of the dock. She stands there for a moment, looking across the lake, before carefully stepping into the water. Then she swims one slow loop beyond the end of the dock, passing the same stretch where Dad used to cast his fishing line. When she comes back, Ruby climbs onto the boards, shakes the water from her coat, and walks over to the place where Dad always sat. She lowers herself down in that exact spot and faces the sunset until the last light disappears. The vet says there is nothing physically wrong with her. She is simply an old dog keeping an appointment she has kept for most of her life. We still drive out there most weekends. Sitting on that dock at sunset with Ruby’s gray head resting in my lap is the closest I ever feel to my dad now. Do you think dogs understand that someone is never coming back, or do they keep waiting because love has become part of their routine?
Raegan Beers stood alone on the court with her hand over her heart during the national anthem while her teammates went to the tunnel. Her gesture drew attention and was praised by many as a display of patriotism and respect for the flag. Stand tall, Raegan.
