Nakase is probably deserving of Coach of the Year.

Stephanie White has also done an outstanding job of coaching this year. The constant shuffling of players due to injuries and the resulting success is to be admired.

There are always honorable mentions for these awards or others who are also deserving. You're obviously preaching to the choir about Steph White. I don't even have to say anything else. You already know what it is. Karl Smesko also deserves credit for what he's done with Atlanta, and Cheryl Reeve and Becky Hammon are always great.

That said, what Natalie Nakase did with The Little Valkyries That Could in their history-making first season and in her first season as a W head coach, given all the injuries and roster flux that they had to work through, is nothing short of remarkable and wholly worthy of the recognition received. Coach Nakase had a team that, on paper, had no business even sniffing a chance to be heartbreakingly swept by Minnesota in the first round of the playoffs competing, playing hard, and punching well above their weight.

I like what Washington has going right now, but if Minnesota hadn't already stolen my heart before I fully knew how good they are, the Valks would be my favorite team. Heck, they might be my favorite already, and I just don't realize it yet.
 
I think Sophie should get the sixth leg award. Out there with on the side line, only one uninjured leg and still glorious.
 
Amazing story considering all of the injuries. I was happy with the second game, who could have dreamed that they would be able to win the series.
 
Okay, so we have two Co-Defensive Players of the Year this year, Alanna Smith and A'ja Wilson! ^_^

Not sure if anything like that has ever happened before with any other W award - it's never happened before with this one - but it's pretty dope nonetheless! Congrats, A'ja and Lan-Lan! 🥳

Minnesota Lynx's Alanna Smith and Las Vegas Aces’ A'ja Wilson Named 2025 Kia WNBA Co-Defensive Players of the Year

Minnesota Lynx forward Alanna Smith and Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson have been named the 2025 Kia WNBA Co-Defensive Players of the Year

MVP will be A’ja Wilson as usual.

Glad Kelsey is a finalist because she should win it. She carried Indiana. But Las Vegas was the best team down the stretch and MVP is a team award.

As per the tweet, we'll know on Sunday at 11:30 a.m.

I don't know why I'm so excited. The two awards I actually had a vested interest in have already been announced, and I got the bonus surprise of Lan-Lan winning Co-Defensive Player of the Year. ^_^

I cannot stress enough how much Kelsey has meant to her team.
 
They need to change up the playoffs. When ever a team is close to being elimated there needs to be a reset.
All game sevens everytime.
 
Just found out that Phoenix eliminated NY yesterday! AT had yet another triple-double, 20, 11, and 11. Satou Sabally had a double-double, 23 points and 12 boards. Stewie scored 30 points, but it wasn't enough. Last year's champs are out in the first round! :oops:

The semifinals, which start tomorrow, will be Vegas/Indy and Minnesota/Phoenix.

Sabrina was ****** terrible most of the year.
 
No surprise here whatsoever, but the best player in the world, A'ja Wilson, is reportedly now a 4-time WNBA MVP, which no other player has ever done before. She could legitimately be given this award every single year, and I would never object to it. It's obviously well deserved. That run she led Vegas on in the second half of the regular season was just insane.

Congratulations, A'ja! 🥳
