Now it can be said: Sue Bird and Geno Aueriemma considers the Phoenix Mercury’s Diana Taurasi the WNBA’s GOAT. Aueriemma, Taurasi’s college coach at UConn basketball, already saw something special in her when she was a true freshman in 2000. He told her to wear No. 3 because she could eventually become the Babe Ruth […]

The Phoenix Mercury may be struggling in 2023, but All-Star Diana Taurasi is continuing to dominate for the squad at the age of 41. She is closing in on an incredible 10,000 career points milestone, and former coach Geno Auriemma is singing her praises. Taurasi starred at UConn back in the day, and played under […]

Dallas Wings point guard Arike Ogunbowale is now officially the most prolific three-point shooter in franchise history. Ogunbowale drained five three-pointers in a 76-65 road win over the Seattle Storm on Wednesday. She upped her total to a franchise-record 341 triples, surpassing Deanna “Tweety” Nolan. Although Ogunbowale didn’t shoot well (8-of-21 FG, 5-0f-12 three-pointers), she […]

After getting off to a poor start to the 2023 WNBA season, the Seattle Storm had been playing improved basketball their last couple of games. In a bunch of the games that they lost earlier this season, they had either lost a close game, or made a comeback only to fall short. So the signs […]

The Las Vegas Aces have been head and shoulders above every other team in the WNBA this season. Led by reigning MVP A’ja Wilson and powered by an All-Star backcourt in Chelsea Gray and Kelsey Plum and a breakout wing in Jackie Young, few teams have the firepower to match the Aces attack. Perhaps the […]

Alyssa Thomas can do it all. The Connecticut Sun forward always shows out when it comes to scoring, playmaking, and crashing the boards. It will not come as a surprise for any WNBA fan that she got dubbed as the league’s triple-double queen. She further cemented her legacy in the sports’ history in her performance […]

The Los Angeles Sparks have been hit with a mind-blowing number of injuries this season.

While starting guard and potential All-Star candidate Lexie Brown had returned to the court following […]

This season, the Chicago Sky have been one of those borderline teams. They could very easily be a playoff team and they could very easily be a lottery team.

The Phoenix Mercury began this season with a lot of energy and excitement with the much anticipated return of Brittney Griner. The season has quickly gone south, however.

The Indiana Fever surprised nobody when they selected South Carolina’s Aliyah Boston with the No. 1 pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft.

The Washington Mystics were looking like a team that could possibly be a dark horse contender come playoff time. That’s quickly gone south though as they’ve been hit with a rash of injuries.

There’s the Las Vegas Aces, and then there’s the rest of the WNBA. That’s how this season has looked so far.

In the WNBA hierarchy this season, the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty are in a class of their own with the Connecticut Sun not far behind. But the Atlanta Dream can be a dangerous team come playoff time. They have a talented roster that on paper looks capable of playing with anyone in […]

Coming into the 2023 WNBA season, much of the championship contender talk centered around the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty.

Another day, another win for the Las Vegas Aces. This time around, they took down the Dallas Wings, 104-91, en route to amazingly, their 23rd win in 25 games so far this season.

Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson just reminded the Dallas Wings and everyone watching Sunday’s game why she is the reigning WNBA MVP and Defensive Player of the Year. Wilson hosted a block party against the Wings as she recorded six rejections in just the first half of the contest. Not only that, but she […]

To say that Breanna Stewart has been outstanding in her debut season for the New York Liberty would be a complete understatement at this point. On Sunday, the former league MVP was up to her usual antics again, leading New York to an 87-79 win over the Los Angeles Sparks. Stewart dropped 25 points on […]

To say it’s been a tough season for the Seattle Storm would be an understatement. After losing Breanna Stewart and Sue Bird this offseason, the Storm have been fully immersed in a rebuilding year. So far, they’ve sputtered to a 5-19 record and they are 1-9 in their last ten games. They’ve had some silver […]

To say that Brittney Griner has been through so much over the past few years would be a complete understatement. The Phoenix Mercury star’s time in a Russian prison is well-documented as it became one of the most gripping storylines not only for the world of sports but in the political scene as well. While […]

The Minnesota Lynx had finally started to get healthy.

The Seattle Storm knew this season was going to be difficult.

The only players […]

The Washington Mystics have been hit hard by the injury bug this season. After looking like they could be a dangerous team this season, they’ve lost six of their last ten games and are 12-11 overall.

Just when it appeared as if the Minnesota Lynx were finally getting healthy, injury struck again.
