How physical is the WNBA, you ask?
Skylar Diggins-Smith took an elbow to the face, started bleeding from the mouth, and was still called for a blocking foul. Ain’t sh*t sweet in this league!
Draymond Green says A'ja Wilson needs to be viewed as the most marketable player in the WNBA and has the potential to be the greatest player of all time
“The best thing since sliced bread in the WNBA is A'ja Wilson. I'm not necessarily in the mindset that it's all Caitlin Clark, no, A'ja Wilson is great. A'ja Wilson to me is the American dream. Coming from a two-parent household, grew, got better, young Black girl, had everything against her, beat the odds to become what soon will be known as the greatest player to ever grace the WNBA. That's quite honestly my opinion. I think A'ja Wilson is as marketable as anybody in the WNBA, but you have to figure out how to market the product.”

Who is exhausted and wants to watch a @WNBA game without hearing about how Caitlin saved the world? Every player in the @wnba is jealous, racist, or hates her and should be grateful. ENOUGH! Just play damn 🏀🤦🏾♀️
Angel Reese has maintained the “it’s not ONE person who is bringing the attention to the league, others are too” and I can’t believe people are saying she is a hater for that. She’s 100% right. There is no sole person generating all the buzz… it’s a great collective draw in.
After today's game, Angel Reese joins A'ja Wilson, Alyssa Thomas, Breanna Stewart, Dearica Hamby, Napheesa Collier, and Tina Charles as the only players averaging 10+ points, and 9+ rebounds.
The 6'3 rookie has also tied for first in Player Efficiency Rating (PER) among all rookies, making her the only rookie to rank top 3 in PER (tied for first), Win Shares (first), Player Offensive Rating (third), and Player Defensive Rating (second).
