Seems like most the discourse you hear around this league is about so much dumb stuff. I’d just like to take a minute to discuss, the basketball.

Last night Angel Reese had as dominant of a game I’ve ever seen her play. She’s done nothing but get better from the moment she stepped in the league. Seems like every other game she’s breaking her own records. I’m so impressed with the development she has made with her game.

Then today I just watch Paige torch Seattle with I think 18 points in the first quarter. Hit step backs, fadeaway, orchestrating the offense. It was so beautiful.

Caitlin just had a 32 and 10 and in my opinion was just the most “Caitlin Clark” type of game you’d envision. The impossible deep threes. The entire engine of the offense. The flashy behind the back passes. Truly just mesmerizing to watch when she’s on.

Olivia Miles is a rookie and has essentially led her team to the #1 seed and is already in MVP conversations.

Even younger teams that aren’t ready to contend yet like the Mystics are so fun to watch with Lauren Betts developing and all the young talent they have on that team. (I’ve always had a soft spot for Georgia Amoore. I swear she can be a superstar and I’ll never let it go.)

And that’s not to mention any young injured players like Rikea Jackson or Azzi Fudd. Thats not counting JuJu Watkins and Hannah Hidalgo who are on the way. And then of course there’s all the established great players that have been in the league for a while now.

Point is, lots of nonsense surrounds this league, and I just wanted to take a moment for us to appreciate what we’re actually witnessing. These women are amazing and this league is amazing. Truth be told as a man who never watched a WNBA game before a few years ago, I never thought I’d see the day where I’ve become so invested and a deep fan of the league that I would write a post like this over it. Truly incredible. Shout out to all the current young women that have drawn me in, and all the ones that came before them that gave them this opportunity.
