Tiffany Hayes might be the most valuable “old head” in the WNBA right now. Some “veterans” are just taking roster spots while Tip is still impacting winning.

"Oh, one of my favorite questions" 🤣

Veronica Burton hypes up Tiffany Hayes following an incredible performance at home that led the @valkyries to their second dub in the Semifinals.

The fans go all out at Ballhalla — just ask TIffany Hayes: “You know what’s my favorite thing about Ballhalla?

It’s actually more of a specific scene than a ‘thing.’ And it’s something that happens all the time at Chase Center. Big games, clutch games, early-season Tuesday night games in the middle of May, doesn’t matter. Let me paint the picture for you….

It’s the first quarter. Score’s like 10–7. We’ve made some shots. Missed some shots. Nothing major’s really gone down. In that arena, though, up in the stands? It’s just….

Hella loud!!!!!!

Maybe we got a steal and a bucket, or someone from the other team dribbled the ball off her foot, or whatever it may be, and their coach calls a timeout, and our crowd….

They’re just absolutely going nuts.

Everyone’s on their feet. People in purple wigs screaming at the top of their lungs. Little kids with rubber swords and shields all hopping up and down. GSV chants echoing like crazy. It’s so loud you can’t even really hear what the person next to you is saying. If it’s your first time at Chase Center, you’re probably like.… This doesn’t even make sense. It’s 10–7. Ten seven!!! I just got my popcorn!!

And then, down on the court … it happens.

The players on the other team, especially the rookies, the newbies who don’t know how we do, they’re looking around like…. What in the world is thiiiiiis? Like….

Where am I right now?!?!?!?!?

They walk past our bench, and … it’s almost like they can’t help themselves. They’ll look up at the fans, and be shaking their heads, and then they’ll ask us like….

‘Yo, are they like this all the time?!?!?!?!’

And everyone on our team? Hahahaha … we just kinda smile. We have this look in our eyes. We all just start nodding our heads like….

‘All day, every day! Absolutely!! Ballhalla, baby! We’re just built different out here!!!!!!’

So yeah, that right there … that’s my favorite thing about Valks fans. At 10–7, it’s already popping.

The second thing is easy.

It’s all the jerseys. The way the city reps us.

If you live out here … you know what I mean. They’re everywhere you look in The Bay! But it’s more than that, actually. There’s a twist.

I’m always telling my mom and dad that I’ve never seen so much violet in my life. And it always makes me feel so happy and grateful when I see people walking around out here wearing one of my #15 jerseys. But that’s not even what I’m talking about right now. What I love more than anything is not that our fans support me, it’s that they support … literally everyone on our team. Our fans are out there wearing jerseys of everybody on our roster.

They love who they love.

It’s so cool to me that our fans are equal-opportunity supporters, you know what I mean? We’ve got someone for everyone.

Actually, you know what, I take it back … that may not be second, that actually may be tied for first, honestly.

I love that so much.” https://t.co/zbPgeTYn2D

The Golden State @valkyries have been breaking boundaries on and off the court since the franchise launched. The latest: the world's first women's sports team to generate $100 million in annual revenue. A run to the WNBA Finals could push # to $135M. 🏀💰🏀

"I remember slamming my hand on the table and I said, 'sign me up.' That the challenge, the expectations, the opportunity that I want."

"I didn’t even know the Golden State Valkyries were going to be a thing," Veronica Burton said, "and here I am."

A castoff became one of the WNBA’s most valuable assets because she got the chance, and loosened her grip.

[isa de luto @orozismo]

y la tercera totalmente revolucionaria q las entrene alguien q no sea un completo inútil al q le regalan el banquillo!!!!, es q no te sirve de nada fichar bien si luego tienes un entrenador q no quieren ni en el cadete del atlético tomelloso

[isa de luto @orozismo]

la segunda es tener un director deportivo que muestre interés, ni siquiera necesitas un equipo simplemente alguien q se tome en serio el scouting, q no se conforme con lo q le ofrezcan y quiera ver las máximas jugadoras posibles

[isa de luto @orozismo]

la primera es la preparación física se nota mucho la diferencia entre quien tiene un preparador físico competente y quien no pq en equipos de nivel similar hay diferencias notables, hasta q ese nivel no se iguale en todos los equipos algunos siempre van a estar en mas desventaja

[isa de luto @orozismo]

reflexionando un poco sobre el debate de como pueden mejorar los equipos de liga f y de 3 cosas básicas q se me han ocurrido (las desarrollo debajo) es q casi nadie cumple las tres

[Niosta Cossa @NiostaC]

@KnightAsh651 🤷🏾‍♂️ ... Exactly. 🖤

[Niosta Cossa @NiostaC]

You're completely missing my point about Real Madrid Women.

You're talking about yesterday's game problems, I'm talking about structural, generational problems.

The problem isn't whether Madrid players played great or bad yesterday, it's what they represent short and long-term.

Dear @realmadridfem

If you do not sack Pau Quesada by the end of the day, you might as well remove the whole section.

This isn’t even delusion. It’s negligence.

[Niosta Cossa @NiostaC]

@viktor_25759 Also, like someone commented to me – in response to your comment:

[Niosta Cossa @NiostaC]

@viktor_25759 That's exactly why Andersson and Silvi need to start games like that – El Clásico. So they know what being the best team in Europe is all about; what does it take to get there.

Players won't develop by being babied, they'll develop by going through fire and through the wire.

75 years later, Big Chen had Yamamoto surrendering in San Francisco yet again. 🏳️

[Asllthenea ⚪️🟣 ⚢ @Lakrarismo]

Yo si que creo que tiene solución. Es un equipo técnico, staff, o como le llaméis, que este lejos de "gente de la casa". Profesionales de referencia y primer nivel en fútbol femenino. Desde psicólogos, hasta preparadores físicos. Tenemos buena equipo, hay que saber potenciarlas
