Becky Hammon leaving the NBA to return to the league she played in, for a WNBA record head coaching deal-only proves the power and potential of the league itself- and it’s one of the most badass and empowering moves I’ve ever seen.
Becky Hammon has been a head coach for 2 seasons, has a winning percentage of .800, & has now won 2 championships.
She should absolutely be the highest paid coach in the WNBA.
For any little girl who grew up playing ball in Illinois… you know how special today is. Thank you for bringing a championship back to Chicago

An undefeated No. 2 team was beat, it was a sellout, a top 10 matchup, and one of the best players in the country went off for her 8th triple double- leading the Big Ten men or women. To me…that’s a lead. Regardless of who’s playing.
ESPN SportsCenter just led tonight's episode with 2 stories on women's college basketball. The first 6 minutes, a regular season Big Ten and SEC game. Who is paying for this? What percentage of sports fans does this serve?
Kelsey Plum opened up and shared her story- a story most know very little about. With the intention of helping others struggling with mental health, thank you
@Kelseyplum10
for sharing it & allowing me to write it.

For $114.99 a year - you can pay for a useless blue check mark.
For $24.99 a year, you can pay for WNBA League Pass and watch the most talented players in the world.
Stay tuned for more smart spending tips.
I really hope every high school, club and college coach is promoting the WNBA to their teams. We need the next generation watching the best WOMEN in the world.
FGCU, IUPUI, North Florida, Jackson State, Hawaii, South Dakota & Delaware all represented in this 2022 WNBA Draft. Don’t ever let anyone tell you you can’t get a look in the league coming from a mid.
Hey WNBA crew, lets keep this momentum rolling into the NCAA season. Women’s basketball is special and those who support it are too. We’re all in this together.

Chicago hosting the 2022 WNBA All Star game is a great move with the amount of grassroots level events taking place the same time in the Chicagoland area. It’s a hotbed for the next generation and their families in July.

I’m sitting here after watching the WNBA draft the other day and wondering WHY THE HELL do those young ladies have to stay in school for 4 years before being able to go pro??!!! I’m CONFUSED 🤔
Restricted free agent A’ja Wilson signed with the Las Vegas Aces for the max two-year, fully protected contract of $196,267 & $202,155

I asked a few current WNBA Rookies who they looked up to in the league before draft night. Many blank stares.
We have to find a way to expose this next generation of players to the top women in the world. This is a major, MAJOR problem and it’s on ALL of us.
At just 26 years old and in just 5 seasons, A’ja Wilson has already impacted the WNBA as one of the all-time greats. Imagine what we will be saying about her 5 years from now. Congratulations

The 2023 WNBA regular season is scheduled to start on Friday, May 19 and end on Sunday, Sept 10. For the first time in the league’s 27 year history- each team will play a record high 40 games.
I’m loving watching Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young right now. Two of the most skilled and dynamic guards in the league, playing the best basketball of their careers.
What an absolutely unbelievable season by the Las Vegas Aces and first year head coach Becky Hammon. A’ja Wilson solidifies herself deep in MVP history as a 2x MVP and now WNBA Champ.
