I never watched it until Caitlin arrived.Who would’ve ever thought a thread about the WNBA would reach 36 pages in just over seven months?

Me too. I am glad CC came across my radar the last half of her senior year at Iowa.
Generational talent always stops me in my tracks.

Caitlyn Clark teed it up again today. This time at the PGA Tour’s RSM Classic on Sea Island, Georgia. Play in’ with the boys.
This time, she got off the first tee ok but quacked another drive a few holes later and had to take another Mully.
To say she’s being well received by the tours and by the fans is a wild understatement.

I've said this before, but for the newer folks in this thread (welcome, BTW), I used to religiously follow the NBA and casually follow the WNBA. Now, the situation is reversed. I haven't followed the NBA since the end of the 2007-2008 season, when my favorite player, Kevin Garnett, finally won a championship. 2024 was my first season religiously following The W. It well exceeded my expectations. I'm here to stay.
All the preseason chatter about Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese got my attention, but my Jersey girl, Marina Mabrey, brought me here. Having now seen everyone in action, I've come to like plenty of the other young ladies, too, including Caitlin. That said, Marina will always be my favorite spicy messy bun.

You misspelled Lexie.
This isn't a competition between them or anybody else I like, but nope, I got it right. I didn't know Lexie existed until Marina brought me here and I then saw a Fever game or two.

It's all good. Certain players brought people here. Marina brought you here. Caitlin Clark brought the rest of America here.
All right, Andrew, we might as well set the ground rules now. If I'm gonna continue to be in The Church with you, then dang it, you're gonna show me some respect like I've been showing you since I joined up. I'm here. You're not gonna shame and rib me for how I got here, for other players I happen to like, or anything else. In turn, I'm not gonna bicker with you guys over every little negative thing that happens to Caitlin.It's all good. Certain players brought people here. Marina brought you here.

Unrivaled rosters set. Looks like I’m rooting for the Laces because Kate Martin.

The ESPN post is incomplete.
I’m rooting for Lexie and Kate Money’s teams.

LA has a new head coach, Lynne Roberts.

Sparks hire Utah's Roberts as new head coach
Lynne Roberts, who guided the Utah women's basketball team to the Sweet 16 last year, has been named head coach of the Sparks.
What are the wildcard spots about? Mystery/rotating teammates? Open spots?
Smart decision IMO. She doesn't need the money or the fatigue. She needs to rest.

Besides we got Lexie, Aayliah, Kate, and Marina in Unrivaled.
Yeah, Caitlin can do it next season if she wants, assuming that it ends up being a success and there will be a second season.
I might actually give Unrivaled a chance depending on how the games will be structured. We don't know much yet, just that the broadcasts of each game will be an hour long, and they're gonna play on a smaller full court, not a half court like in Olympic 3x3.
No word on how long the shot clock will be, just that it will exist, along with a game clock. If it's like Olympic 3x3, with a 12-second shot clock or whatever it was and no stoppages between made baskets, you can count me out.

I’m just here for Lexie.
She turned me into a fan of hers, as did Aayliah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell.
Like I alluded to earlier, I'm here for all of them, but not to just watch them get gassed. No thank you. I got gassed just watching the 3x3 game during the 2024 All-Star festivities.I’m just here for Lexie.

I didn’t watch any of the Olympic 3x3. I heard it isn’t good though. If TNT is limiting the games to one hour windows, that might help, especially if they have an intermission period.Like I alluded to earlier, I'm here for all of them, but not to just watch them get gassed. No thank you. I got gassed just watching the 3x3 game during the 2024 All-Star festivities.
Honestly, I only watched the finals in the Women’s Basketball tournament anyway. The lack of a certain player’s presence caused my interest to be severely limited.
Like I said earlier, Olympic 3x3 is just way too frantic and fast-paced for me. A 12-second shot clock and no stoppages after made baskets, only if the ball goes out of bounds or a foul is committed or something. I'm sure the players enjoy it, or they wouldn't be doing it, but ehh, that doesn't work for me, brother. The one game I saw during All-Star weekend was enough.I didn’t watch any of the Olympic 3x3. I heard it isn’t good though.

I could probably get down with a pickup-style basketball league with WNBA players. If Unrivaled looks more like that and less like Olympic 3x3, I'll give it a shot. If not, I'll wish them well and keep it moving.
