I know that Paige Bueckers is from Minnesota, but please, don't make her your main storyline, ESPN. PLEASE. There are other main storylines you can make as well. Talk about South Carolina and Stanford's dominance. Talk about other teams too. GROW THE GAME. Thanks.

NBA players such as Lebron James have access to WNBA players and can text them. There was no need for him to tweet what he tweeted. I'm so tired of NBA players not knowing WNBA basics. It's exhausting.

Late night tweet, but I really hope we see a ton of media coverage on Sylvia Fowles last season in the WNBA as well. She's also a very special player and superstar. I'm going to write about what her impact means on the blog this week, but I want her impact to be felt everywhere.

Ok, put Candace Parker on ABC broadcasts as a commentator after she retires. She's damn good as an analyst and tells the truth every time. She said her team was lucky to get the win. Straight truth. Not only that, so familiar already with the ESPN crew. DO IT, ESPN. DO IT.
