I would love for Gabby Williams to win WNBA finals MVP, but honestly Kiah Stokes winning it would be a very fitting depiction of the same “team over individual” mindset that got the Valkyries this far.
The Valkyries entire campaign has turned a group of underdog players who had been overlooked by their original teams, into this super strong team that puts the team over themselves, and are one match away from being WNBA champions.
Kiah Stokes in the playoffs has done just that. She’s been there for whatever the team needed. Often what she does is not flashy or leads to crazy stats in the scoresheet, but she’s often changed the game with hustle plays, rebounds, and completely tying up the other team’s strongest post players. She’s honestly a depiction of how doing your role well, without ego coming in, can create such an impact for a team.
For all the Dream fans calling Valkyries fans racist, did y’all forget what happened in your own arena? Or is racism only selectively problematic?
Most Dream/Angel fans who responded to this tweet did the following btw: (i) claimed the tweet is false and full of lies; (ii) asked for proof; (iii) sent the person hate and called them names; (iv) told the person to delete the tweet.
Your behaviour shows you never actually cared about racism. You just used race wars to push your narratives and pull other people down. Enough is enough.

+52 FT advantage thru 5 games and still
Bitching about the refs lol
I phrased this badly for the Napheesa point, sorry. She seems to prefer offense to defense as per her previous comments.
But yeah, she’s been DPOY in the past, and has played good defense. I just don’t think she fits what the Valkyries are looking for.
I can’t stop thinking about this. Wtf kind of virtue signalling is this?? 8 out of the 10 Valkyries have black heritage (and one of the remaining two is Asian). But because they’re not your favourite players, they’re suddenly anti-black?!?
You don’t get to erase someone’s identity and heritage to fit your own narrative.
These fans have honestly reached new levels of ridiculousness now. Y’all were never basketball fans, you’ve always just weaponised race for your own narratives - and it’s becoming painfully obvious now.

A 45-26 FT advantage over the last two games and she’s implying the officiating shifted AGAINST them? Please be serious. 😭
At what point does accountability enter the conversation…?
Angel Reese on the officiating:
"I would definitely say last game...there was also a possession where Gabby pulled me on purpose and she was screaming foul foul, foul and they didn't call it. So that definitely was frustrating for sure. And her team is saying it and they're all screaming foul, but the refs, I don't know what's going on why they can't hear it. And I know I have the mismatch, especially we were talking about matchups. So when I do switch on the post and I'm a lot stronger than the opponent, I should be able to turn and they're calling offensive foul, but I'm getting pushed before that. So that is frustrating for sure. It definitely shifted when we went up 2-1 and things shifted and I don't know what happened, but it definitely took a big turn"
These voice bots that deal with customer service calls have got to be banned bro. To save the company’s time and skimp on paying a few extra salaries, y’all are fine with just wasting the customer’s time??? The bots are never helpful, and you just get sent from one bot to the other.
Honestly, any company that sends me directly to a human caller is already getting bonus points from me.
Duke doing more promo for Caitlin’s shoe than @IndianaFever 😭😭😭
Weddings are becoming ridiculous bro😭😭😭 Got invited to a wedding where they’ve sent a lookbook - and there are 8 different events over 4 days, and each event has its own unique theme, dress code, and is fancy af?? How many outfits do they expect guests to buy bruh🫠🫣
I honestly think it’s inconsiderate to expect guests to shell so much money on wedding outfits, which people will have to do, since the couple is mandating a unique themed dress code for each event. It’s also a destination wedding and guests are anyway spending their own money to travel to another city to attend, and will also have to spend money on a wedding gift. It’s just ridiculous.
I wish more people just dispensed with all this, and have minimalist weddings tbh. Weddings should be fun to attend, not a cause of stress.
