For 4 years, Nika Mühl’s main line of communication with family in Croatia was early morning FaceTime calls due to a 6-hour time difference. Her sacrifice paid off.

“There needs to be respect about the fact that she had two children and hasn’t played in 20 months. She’s not where she will be in Game 4 of the season…She’s not going to come overnight and be who she was 20 months ago and we have to respect that and honor that. I do. As a
A “conservative” Black man attempting to defend the CRA of ‘64 as if it was the white man’s blessing that ended the horrendous treatment of Blacks in America.....Please tell me what’s changed since 1964 besides our murders being televised via smartphones..
Sitting while watching your teammates battle it out on the court is tough, especially for a rookie. I asked Nika Mühl if there were instances during games where she thought she could help the team
Quite the insightful answer

“The Black and white thing” will always be a thing in a league where 70% identity as Black women and have voiced the feeling of being underrepresented and marketed insufficiently repeatedly
Aces head coach Becky Hammon erupts at practice today on the negativity surrounding Caitlin Clark.
"There's no hate. Our league loves her. We're just doing our job."
"Even the black and white thing knock it off. It's not there."

@FOX5Vegas
Skylar Diggins-Smith *single-handedly* carried that team through the MUD this entire season, on and off the court through so much shit, man. this is reprehensible.
Becky Hammon: [The Knicks] don't have a dude... you got to have a 1A dude."
Kendrick Perkins: "They do have that dude."
B: "Who?"
K: "Jalen Brunson."
B: "He too small. If your best player is small, you're not winning... Steph Curry is the only dude."

Because she knew he was right. She was on that show coonin up the place talking about white understanding of racism. Yet we’re still where we are today lol.

may be walking away, she’s left the game in some pretty outstanding hands of fellow Black women
In the minutes I’ve seen, Nika Mühl has looked so comfortable on both ends of the floor. Getting teammates in their spots, running the O and getting her shots as well, and playing the stout defense she’s known for
She’s up to 6 points, 2 rebounds, and an assist

considering 63% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, folks have some mighty ignorant takes on the unhoused population when they're only two weeks away from joining the club
From Satou Sabally’s IG
Heike Krone, Satou and Nyara Sabally’s mom, watching her daughters play simultaneously yesterday
“When you have two daughters playing [in the] WNBA” 🫶🏽
a team broadcaster called Tina Charles her jersey number for an entire half of basketball then got on Twitter, attempted to justify it, and slandered her reputation in the process. we didn’t forget.
that org has needed a scrub down for some time now
i feel like 99.9% of people - including the people at the very top covering this - are failing to acknowledge that this man owns a WNBA team where most of the players are Black women while being in hot water for being a sexist and a racist
women in sports media already have it hard enough (unnecessarily i might add)
Charissa Thompson has the luxury of getting on a podcast and openly admitting to lying about her reporting and *laughing* about it
had that been a Black woman or a fellow minority…
Jewell Loyd signed her extension the day after setting the new WNBA single-season scoring record. From that day forward, I asked her how she would characterize her offseason
“I got everything I asked for and demanded.”
- Also touched on how big a role Pokey Chatman played. Felt
Arike Ogunbowale just now:
“I just want to start off by saying that last call was one of the worst calls i’ve ever seen be called. I just got mauled by Courtney Williams. but the ref is walking into me. I don’t know if she wants me to jump out the way - (1/2)
and in this instance, not a single mention of the entire WNBA franchise this man owns comprised of mostly Black women when he’s been found being a racist and a sexist
To my understanding, since Mühl hadn’t graduated from UConn yet before Seattle’s preseason game, she was able to play still. Now that she’s done with school, the team waits for an approval for a work visa
Have to feel for Nika Mühl. Watching your team battle it out on the court knowing you could make a difference is tough, especially in a situation like this
Democrats worried about impeaching Trump when they’ve had FOUR years to cultivate a quality candidate...and came up with a 77 year old man who likes to sniff women and children
“I think it needs to be normalized to be honest. Even just talking about it needs to be normalized a little bit…It’s something that when I was on my visit that I didn’t have to say but people got. It’s an unspoken thing that is intrinsic to our experience. And in no way is it
Things A’ja Wilson has to do in order to get her first signature shoe
- End world hunger

i’m not the one for sour grapes but to point out that three of your players put Candace Parker out of the playoffs the last coupla years when she has a ring to show for it is weak as hell in my honest opinion
not to mention the Sun have to face a Vegas team on literal fire
Chicago never deserved Derrick Rose. That man single handedly made an entire city relevant after a decade plus of mediocrity
And they still shit on his man to this day
Moments like in today’s Sky presser between TSpoon and Chennedy is why having head coaches who look like their players is so important, on and off the court
some news 🚨: i’ll be in the greatest city in the world covering the Dallas Wings as they take on the Chicago Sky

mans talking about furthering his career a season and a half removed from the first WNBA championship in franchise history
save the BS and say the quiet part out loud mane lol
Basketball fans across Canada will make the W team in Toronto one of, if not, the most profitable franchise in the league in just a few seasons and that’s not me being melodramatic. When they support a team, it’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen before
Just a reminder of important dates leading up to the start of the 2024
