The D'POY is movin' on up 💅✨ With her first block tonight, A'ja Wilson secures the No. 6 spot on the all-time blocks list!

"So, you see, Ms. Cunningham, I will admit that I don’t understand what you’re aiming at here with your public concerns about trans youth in sports. I don’t get it."

What Do I Think About Sophie Cunningham?

I'll tell you.

She's somehow flown under the radar this season, but per @acrossthetimeline.com the only rookie in WNBA history to match or better Awa Fam's season stat line (11 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists 1.8 stocks while shooting 35% on 4 threes a game) is Tamika Catchings

And just three total prior to this season u.acrossthetimeline.com/stat-TAPZT

Just got home from the Sky game and I still can’t believe what I saw. A note from Sky PR: Sydney Taylor has 5 25-point games this season All other undrafted rookies in WNBA history have combined for 5

WNBA stat watch: - DeWanna Bonner is 6 made free throws from 2,000 and 10 behind Tamika Catchings (2,004 - 2nd). Her next game is her 565th regular season WNBA game, tying her with Diana Taurasi at 2nd-most all-time (Sue Bird is 1st) - Natasha Cloud is 3 assists behind Skylar Diggins (1,861 - 8th)

The idea that the league, teams, coaches, and players should remain silent in the face of this absolute discriminatory bullshit encouraged by bigoted statements from a player is bananas to me. Everyone should be shouting this down. You want an welcoming and inclusive fanbase? PROVE IT.

The Indiana Fever play tomorrow in Portland and Sunday in Minnesota. There are "Support Sophie Cunningham" transphobic rallies planned for both cities. Fuck all the way off. #WNBA

WNBA stat watch: - A'ja Wilson is 4 blocks behind Lauren Jackson (586 - 6th) - Natasha Cloud is 8 assists behind Skylar Diggins (1,861 - 8th) - Breanna Stewart is 12 points behind Candace Parker (6,574 - 10th) - Courtney Williams is 2 assists behind Tamika Catchings (1,488 - 13th)

The Indiana Fever have now scored 100+ in 4 consecutive games, a new WNBA record. u.acrossthetimeline.com/stat-jokOU Kelsey Mitchell extended her league record to 12 consecutive games with 3+ made threes. u.acrossthetimeline.com/stat-BsUGl

While the 19,783 in attendance at tonight's WNBA ASG is a record, it's worth noting 2nd place is just barely behind at 19,487 -- first in 2002 and then again in 2007, both in Washington, D.C. acrossthetimeline.com/wnba/attenda...

Marina Mabrey has 5 made threes so far, marking the 20th time in league history a player makes 5 or more threes in a WNBA All Star Game. It's the end of the first quarter. The single-game WNBA ASG record is 10 (Jewell Loyd - 2023). u.acrossthetimeline.com/stat-huzmL

In honor of the WNBA All-Star game & the Navy sailors assembling for the Seattle torchlight parade below my window, I want to share one of my favorite WNBA memories: 7'2" Margo Dydek flirting, quite successfully, with a group of sub-6' uniformed sailors after a game against the Portland Fire ~2001.

Laurie Koehn could shoot the hell out of the ball, for anyone who saw that winners graphic and went "Who?" Basically couldn't do anything else, which limited her WNBA career, but a pure outside gunner. #WNBA

Courtney Williams and Tweety, EDD and LJ. Wish they had some highlights to show the parallels out on the court for this contest.

Fun fact: The 1999 WNBA All-Stars weren't told Whitney Houston was singing the anthem. Many were in awe – except for the Liberty. Liberty players were friends with Whitney's BFF Robyn Crawford and had been in her orbit, even attending one of her birthday parties. More ⬇️ andscape.com/features/wnb...
