Not me being reminded in real time that Russell Westbrook takes his fashion side-hustle seriously, as he's revealed to be the stylist for draft invitee Georgia Amoore (Kentucky).

This has been refuted by the Sparks, BTW:
It appears that it may have been an intermediary vendor trying to hit for a lick.

I’m hoping Iowa gets a WNBA team someday. This state has a long history of supporting women’s basketball. Iowa, Iowa State, Drake and to a lesser extent Northern Iowa have great fan bases at the college level. No chance we ever get a NBA, MLB, NFL or NHL franchise given our close approximation to many pro teams in other surrounding states. Then again, I’ve adopted the Fever so at least I have a team to root for already.
Ryan Ruocco is going to send a Cease and Desist to Ann Schatz.
The Liberty look unbeatable.

Don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Small sample size but, through the first three games of the season, Napheesa Collier is on pace to break the single-season scoring record.

If my recollection is correct, wouldn't that make it the 3rd consecutive season in which the scoring record has been broken (if she does indeed go on to break it this season)???
It would only be the second straight season. Jewell Loyd's 2023 scoring average is currently the third-highest on record, but it did not surpass Diana Taurasi's 2006 season.

Three more expansion teams coming over the next several years according to sources. Cleveland, Detroit and Philly
I generally find the way people talk about places like Detroit to be a litmus test.
Also, didn't the Kings leave Kansas City forty years ago because of [REDACTED]

No surprises here, but it is now official.

Not the biggest fan of the name (OG or not, I guess it's something I associate with Chicago) but the logo is pretty cool and at least sticks to the Rose City motif.
I am indifferent to this, because the Fire were not a team that ever relocated; their franchise history began and ended and will begin again in Portland.
I am more annoyed by the fact that the WNBA plans to have 18 teams by 2030, and none of them will be in Sacramento or Houston, two teams that account for just under 20 percent of all the championships that have ever been won in the WNBA.

Portland might be the hottest women's sports market on the planet over the last 10 years but it chaps my hide too @Mr. S£im Citrus
That Valkyries killed off any chance of seeing the Monarchs again soon and yet having that kind of regional rivalry would be great for the game outside of the TV marketing. We'll see how the Storm/Fire go and maybe they'll decide to get in on that with NorCal.

Damn, Atlanta really went out there and said, "**** them kids!"
Three minutes? Cold game...
A'ja Wilson is the best women's basketball player in the world. Argue with a wall.

I'm certainly not going to argue that. I like Collier and all...and had she not had that injury, I would have given her the MVP. But, man, as dominant a force that Wilson consistently is, I don't see how she's never in the MVP conversation and isn't ever the front-runner for the trophy every season. I love her game so much. Weirdly, in my WNBA fandom 2.0, I don't actually hate any teams or players right now, I guess I'm going to need to work back into that lol.
