After considerable thought, I'm ready to publicly explain my 2026 WNBA MVP ballot.

Let me explain.

No player in the WNBA was responsible for generating more offense than Caitlin Clark this season.

22.3 PPG, 8.3 APG, and a WNBA record 41.2 points created per game.

The Fever had the highest scoring offense in WNBA history, and Clark was the engine driving it.

Her combination of scoring gravity, playmaking, efficiency, and ability to elevate everyone around her is something we have simply never seen before.

MVP isn't just about who scores the most points. It's about VALUE.

My final ballot:

1. Caitlin Clark

The most impactful offensive player in basketball. Her gravity creates advantages before the ball even reaches her hands. You can't measure her value simply by looking at the box score. The entire defense has to account for her, and every Fever player benefits from it.

2. A'ja Wilson

I don't need to point out how amazing A'ja is, but I will.

26.2 PPG, 9.4 RPG, and elite defensive production. The best two way player in the league and deserving of every bit of recognition she receives. The only question for me was whether her defensive contribution outweighed Clark's offensive creation.

3. Kelsey Mitchell

One of the greatest scoring seasons by a guard in WNBA history. Nearly 25 PPG on absurd efficiency, including 64%+ TS.

Her shot creation and ability to punish defensive rotations were instrumental to Indiana's success. There's a reason so many players called her "unguardable" this season.

Having two Fever players on my ballot was an easy decision.

4. Breanna Stewart

Elite two way production on a Liberty team that desperately needed her. Her defensive versatility, scoring, and ability to impact the game without dominating possessions made her one of the league's most valuable players.

Jason Sudeikis was right. People really didn't talk about her enough in the MVP conversation.

5. Olivia Miles

A phenomenal rookie season. Her playmaking and ability to keep Minnesota at the top of the standings deserve recognition, especially with Napheesa Collier unavailable.

I just couldn't justify placing her above players having a larger individual impact for their teams.

I understand that some people will find my ballot controversial, and I respect that.

Unfortunately, this will also be my final season participating in the MVP voting process.

After careful consideration, I've accepted the position of WNBA Commissioner.

I look forward to working closely with our players, officials, and ownership groups to improve the on court product, establish greater accountability and transparency in officiating, strengthen player fan relationships, modernize league operations, and ensure every franchise is positioned for sustainable growth.

I appreciate everyone's support during this transition and look forward to earning your trust as we enter this exciting new chapter for women's basketball.

My first order of business will be a complete review of the officiating department.

My second order of business will be calling Caitlin Clark to set up a tee time. I hear her golf game is in shambles.

Thank you.

Socialism is the high school group project. You do all the work, as your teammates wank off. Because you are responsible, you pull all-nighters to get it done, then they all get the same grade as you. Now multiply that by a billion and the teacher has a gun. That's socialism.

The Indiana Fever vs. Aces series had a free throw differential of +31 for the Aces.

This is the LARGEST FT differential in a 3-game series in WNBA history 😂

In case you were looking for more evidence (as if we need it) that this thing was rigged.

[Indiana Fever @IndianaFever]

MVCC 😈

Caitlin Clark is averaging a career high 22.5 PPG (No. 3 in WNBA), the highest single season scoring average by a WNBA point guard this century‼️

AND she's creating 41.4 points per game, on track to become the first player in WNBA history to create more than 40 points per game for an entire season 🤯

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed doesn't care about America.

Our nation, our culture, and our institutions mean absolutely nothing to him.

His biggest concern is the ethnic grievances of his ancestors on the other side of the world.

Women’s tennis champion Aryna Sabalenka says banning all men from women’s tennis is the right decision. Of course it is. Good to see her speak out like Sophie Cunningham did. Sanity is spreading.

This is correct. The DSA is a threat to the foundation of the United States.
