Legends aren’t born. They’re built 😤
A’ja Wilson is the first player in WNBA & NBA history to win MVP, DPOY, Finals MVP & a scoring title in a season 👏
FUN STAT: A’ja Wilson joins Sheryl Swoopes as the only players in WNBA history to win both MVP and Defensive Player of the Year honors three times each! 🥹✨
A’ja Wilson and the @LVAces are ready to chase another playoff run: “Every day, I am motivated by what’s going to come next for me in this league, and what’s going to come next for my team, and what’s going to come next for our city....
I’ve been watching LeBron in the playoffs this last bunch of years, and it’s so inspiring to me. I mean, the way that he just wills his teams to victory, you know? The way he wills it. The way that he always seems to have this extra gear when the stakes get high — not just physically, even, but also mentally. The way that people now just expect greatness from him. That’s something that I’m always studying up on and always admiring.
I don’t want my greatness to sneak up on people — you know what I mean? I want them to expect it. And then I want to deliver.
But I also know that in order to have my chance to deliver, and have a chance to show the world my playoff gear, and show people how I can raise my level when the level gets raised on me.... So I’m just very excited for that moment to get here.” https://t.co/oHFXoGQKU5
Congratulations to @CocoGauff for an amazing championship at the French Open — the first American singles champion at @RolandGarros in a decade. You make us all proud.
Today, Breonna Taylor should be celebrating her 32nd birthday. She should be here — living, laughing, thriving. Instead, we remember her life and all the great things she wished to accomplish. We will NEVER forget her. Happy heavenly birthday, Bre!
A Black woman in her own home called 911 due to a burglar in her home. This officer came in and shot her and refused for his partner to render aid to her. Say her name: Sonya Massey.
Don’t remain silent. Stand up for her and fight. This should not have happened…
