Does it when they shoot. Does it when she throws a bad pass. Does it when she’s out of position of defense. Does it when the play don’t run as planned. Does it about 50 fucking times a game. Probably more. It’s why Kate Martin was Iowa’s leader, not her.
To all the ppl that argue how she's a great teammate...
She does this constantly when her teammates shoot.
Keep in mind, this shot went in.
She's an entitled little brat and an even worse teammate.

Not anymore, they only get to stay now for 48 hours after their event unless they’re federation pays or they can afford to pay to stay on their own.
Don’t be on social media……but within 25 minutes of being called out she unfollowed.
She be watching and knowing.
And not saying or doing SHIT about how her name is used.
@Allgirlsgo_Once
Can tell they decided as a team we talking about us and the game, not about that 1 player y’all only want to ask about. And I LOVE IT!!!!
@BiggggLo_
I mean, I don’t really know how winning a game to get to 2-8 on the season (and still in 11th place) is getting revenge for losing the natty. But maybe that’s just me 🤷🏻♀️
@DaveCleverOne
Cause she had a terrible fucking attitude and is generally shitty yo her teammates and other people. I’ll own my hate thanks. Doesn’t mean my criticism isn’t still valid.
@trendyhoopstars
How’s all those firsts working out for her team though? She’s also 1st in TO, which is important since she’s also 1st in opponent’s points off turnovers—almost 15 a game. And she’s 16/18 in defensive WS.
Flau’jae’s step up from year 1 to 2 😮💨
Min 27 ➡️ 32
PPG 11 ➡️ 14.9
AST 67 ➡️ 89
STL 42 ➡️ 76
FG% 42 ➡️ 50
3P% 32 ➡️ 38
Lock-down perimeter defender ✅
Go-to post season step-up player ✅
(20 pts/5 rebs/2 asts/2stls per game)
Can’t wait to see what year 3 brings 🤩
@AP
Real question…..how tf did her 4 points and 0-7 3PT% do anything to “lead” that team anywhere??? How about…
Allisha Gray 16 pts, 5 stls
Nneka 14 pts, 77.8% FG%
Kelsey Mitchell 13 pts, 75% FG%
Angel Reese 12 pts, 11 rebs

She was the first women’s basketball player to ever reach 1 million followers on Instagram back in 2022. A full year before Reese, and while she was out injured. She won an ESPY in 2021, 2 years before Reese. She won NPOY her freshman year, 3 years before Clark. She’s been HER.
@_Breezy_Briii
Love it! I went and reported this post too, and like a dozen of his past ones last night. I hope others did too. Cause that man was threatening and slurring and being hateful allllll over this app.
@JonnyRoot_
Go watch Power of the Dream and you’ll answer your own question. Absolutely appropriate. If you don’t like women who do something besides “shut up and dribble” then don’t tune in.
@he72hwjw
It happens to rookies on top teams preparing for deep playoff runs with even vets coming off the bench. Let her learn and develop from one of the best vet PGs in the league.
@Neaux1currrrr
Did it after knocking the ball out of bounds (and giving possession to the other team) while coming over two teammates’ backs trying to steal a wide open rebound from both of them.
So you mean to tell me Dallas—the youngest/least experienced team in the league with 5 rookies—didn’t get a practice for 2 1/2 weeks because of their game schedule and this broadcast is the first we’re hearing about it? Didn’t need 852 national media outrage think pieces on it?

@usabasketball
This is who is left to choose from. Not who’s already on it.
Cierra Burdick was third with 149,968
HVL was fifth with 107,140
Cam was eighth with 69,966

Like that magic y’all ladies pulled off in 2020 in Georgia…..we need y’all to bottle and mass produce the shit outta that for the entire nation for 2024 🙏🙏🙏
@ConradStein6
@ParkerMolloy
Exactly. Because WE made it binary with our made up words and definitions and social constructs. Nature exists along a whole lot of messy continuums though.
@NewtonJedi
Well considering the league vetoed both picks the only two times women were drafted, that doesn’t sound like an “all are welcome” league to me.
@j_jameric
I hate the whole fucking MNBA since the AI era ended. So that tracks. Un-fucking-watchable league. Keep that shit over there in the men’s league and away from actual still good watchable basketball.
@DaveCleverOne
Please. I had reason to cry over my most hated DT beating my beloved LadyVols back in the day. I have no reason to cry over someone who’s never won anything 😂😂🤣🤣
@TheDonAlexander
Or the last few years/decades. MNBA been unwatchable since the end of the AI era. No defense. Taking 5 steps with the ball is fine. Rules rewritten to support 120 point games as the norm. Un-fucking-watchable.
@TylerDeLuca
My preseason predictions did NOT have them making the playoffs. Getting CC don’t magically fix the problems with those other guards and the coaching deficiencies. 🤷🏻♀️
@MidwestMutineer
Tonight’s debut didn’t even make the top 10 all time list. And honestly I hope one of the rookies left to debut tomorrow shows out and gets it done.
@SFloGamecock
Had to spend 8 years in HS and college studying film of her own body language and learning how it affects others and still doing this nonsense—when her teammates shoot, when she makes a bad pass, when the play doesn’t run as planned, etc. etc. etc. Shit teammate checks out.
@ESPN_WomenHoop
This game has been over for exactly 2.5 minutes. Chill tf out. Simone’s right—stop asking “what’s next” and learn to fucking enjoy the present for a more than a hot second. No wonder everyone’s so unhappy all the time. Shameful and pathetic you can’t just celebrate the winners.
UPDATE: Clarity on who *might* qualify for 3x3 with Cameron Brink out.
Left is FIBA eligibility criteria.
Right is all the USA players who are currently top 250 worldwide in FIBA’s 3x3 points system and *could meet* the criteria for consideration.
Hamby is the *likely* pick.
@savvyfive
I’m more interested in what happens when you have the physicality & strength of fully grown women bodying you up if you wanna whine & cry to the refs, frustrated by every little bump you’re getting now. Hell, AB’s arm nearly got ripped off last szn and it was 🤷🏻♀️ “welcome rook.”
@Nikkyface
She’d be playing less than Tatum and they’d be melting down worse than Nika’s fans over her be used just for views and clicks (even though that’s exactly why they days she shoulda been going in the first place). Suddenly attendance wouldn’t mean shit either.
@jadanotkiss
Please. They on other posts talking about give them back Monika and Hannah so CC can play on a “good” team again cause ain’t no elevated level of play in the W.
@plies
Like LOOOOOK at who didn’t make it:
Arike—2nd in PPG
Hamby—5th in PPG and 3rd in RPG, with had FG% higher than all but 1 who made it
McBride—11th in PPG, with higher 3PT% than anyone who made it and higher FG% than all but 2 who made it
No one’s rallying war cries for them.
But see how simple that was? Straightforward answer. Very few details so still protected her players while giving a clear answer to end assumption making online. No contentiousness with the media. Simple and over and done with. A non issue. Why’s that so hard for some??? 😵💫
Dawn Staley on tonight's
@GamecockWBB
different starting lineup. Says Kamilla Cardoso and Raven Johnson broke a team rule:
"They took it on the chin. We kept it moving. We're good. Nothing long-lasting."
@wachfox
@courtsidekenny
Your second sentence says it all. Awful front office and awful coach. Took Vegas switching coaches twice, getting a new owner, and a new team president in addition to their
#1
picks and bringing in Chelsea Gray as PG1.
@theylove_jerry
@BiggggLo_
Well then if college doesn’t matter there was nothing to even get revenge for. I mean if you saying it’s a clean slate starting over now.
@MuffinMcgraw
When I saw that I was like what the fuck got into her? 😂 But also that was the attitude they needed from her at the end of the game when Angel fouled out for LSU to have a chance to win and she folded back into a wall flower.

For those whining about a 5th year—Fair’s played 149 games. Griner (now 6th) played 148. Maya Moore (13th) has the most games of the Top 25 scorers at 154. Yes, their’s were from multiple deep playoff runs. But w/ COVID seasons cut short the 5th yr isn’t SUCH a HUGE difference.

@esjesjesj
And if there’s a vagina and a uterus that’s a woman. And when all of those exist simultaneously in one person from birth—see how it’s really fucking complicated??? Clear clean cut male/female or man/woman doesn’t exist in nature for any species—we invented those dividing lines.
@phxsunz25
Like there hasn’t even been a push notification from 4 letters or the W app yet. And you know they’re both gonna act like it’s a national holiday in a few games when the other rookie breaks the single season assists record 😑😑😑
@Natural_OneDurr
I’m glad she made the cut for this stop. Get her confidence back up and get people off her back. 3x3 been her jam, but honestly I think it hurts (not helps) translation to college game on defense and fouling (for her and Cam and some others).

Verbal inquiry is within 1 minute for the last athlete (and before the next score is posted for all earlier athletes). All athletes, regardless of order, then have 4 minutes to submit the full written inquiry.
@womensbasketb12
They ain’t broke, they cheap. It’s an important distinction. Cause even that new facility is behind the times and out of date before they’ve even broken ground. Half the size and missing half the amenities of what others have recently built.

They literally just mentioned during the Phoenix game last night that Diana Taurasi WAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY back in 2009 was the last guard to win league MVP. It’s been all centers and forwards since then. For 14 straight years. Not post dominant my ass.
@_kimadams
Shame she doesn’t actually make any money off W jersey sales, unlike in college. (But she’ll more than make up for it with other deals, so still not a pay cut.)
