Yea I sat front row behind the announcer’s table last night, so here’s the dump before my phone died and I met Larry Nance Jr and Jessica Silva (yall she’s so pretty, I almost had a stroke)
Got goosebumps down my arms. Love seeing Kamilla happy. That girl had her whole Olympic break seeing her family in another country STOLEN from her. We love you
@Kamillascsilva
and will do whatever we can as fans to help you feel at home here.
@mychal3ts
I’m proud of you for being here today, and I’m not just speculating when I say many other people on this planet would agree with me! Look at you making the power of libraries reaching new generations, opening up that safe space for others to join excitedly! 💛💜❤️
I’ve been making so much progress with my mental health lately, anyone else want to brag about their own Ws in the comments? Like

says, it’s ok to not be ok~but sometimes getting through that tragedy that built your character needs to be celebrated
@royaltyixing
She wanted to thank her for picking her up off the court. Lol the announcer straight up was like “if the tables were turned, she would not be doing that”
@YifengLi
Li seems like the sweetest person in the league—I hope we see more content like this of players making efforts to include her. Fuck yea,

100/10 edit, couldn’t agree more. Giving me hope at a time when the world is flooded with racism/xenophobia/transphobia/chaos/crooked democracy, I’ll be full on corny with it. So happy they’re coming together as a unit.
@SubriaWhitaker
Oh and it’s pinned. Ok. So you’re proud of your ability to degrade and caricature on racial stereotypes. Lol bet she won’t stand on it in real life, toe to toe.

That sounds like a terrible time! 💔 How did you stay calm the whole trip while also processing and planning what you were about to do? I would’ve had a hard time learning self respect on a trip with a cheater…I admire your mental perseverance there!

@healingfromlc
Agreed and saw this happening for people when my chronic pain ended with a really intense surgery that took months to recover from. My DMs are also open if you want someone to listen!
@SybrinaFulton
We appreciate so much of what you and Trayvon have taught our country—it is a gross, heinous lesson that he had to pass the way he did and your family had to make the ultimate sacrifice. We love you and your family so much
@SkyDigg4
Skylar we’re getting a new coach and D Wade just bought an ownership stake in our team. An asset like you in Chicago could influence how the player-management dynamic pans out going forwards…

@Leahgreenb
Everyone loves going off of a good cropped screenshot! This is exactly why yall MAGA people are the way you are. Find a reputable source that isn’t bought by a major network that states your claim, then maybe we’ll bat an eye.
@dearicamarie
Your voice has been so critical this year, Dearica. The courage it takes to consistently use yours to improve working conditions in professional sports is 1 in 144
@DaHoops_Junkie
Me neither, dude. I think she’s frustrated with the team chemistry though. I’m not even lying—I saw her on the interstate yesterday. Home girl was screaming into her phone lol
@RefilweSeboko
@archidelly38
It’s ok to not be ok and to rebuild! The opportunity to rebirth yourself in the face of tragedy and immense challenges to the spirit is like the basis of half the movies we watch and books we read? Don’t give up, beautiful.
@its_whitney
When this moment happened IRL, I screamed “I LOVE THAT COACH!” If you’ve been a player, you know how validating these gestures are. Rare if you played in the 90s imo, when coaching was all toxic mental abuse but ANYWAYS LOVE YOU NIELE
@leisaredmon
Melanie Lynskey is your sibling’s cool significant other who sneaks you booze at the family parties when you’re 18. I’m gonna guess you never had one of those people in your life, sadly.
I’m in Wisconsin rn and drove up a few days ago in my Kamilla
@Playa_Society
shirt. I’m at Culver’s to get my cousin a meal and line up to fill up at the soda fountain. These adorable girls see my shirt and said with so much contained excitement: “Wait YOU KNOW
Ok now I log off
I don’t care to defend myself online, but if you know me in real life, you know I don’t joke about papers, immigration, ICE or none of it, because I’ve taught a lot of undocumented kids who had half of what Kamilla was able to make for herself.
Crushed for her
@TaylorInChief
We would be besties, cuz I would’ve said the same thing. Also, potential hint to Chi owners that she cares about facilities? That’s a half-baked theory but I wonder…
@DaHoops_Junkie
Aside from Stud Butt’s recovery and how we all know that’s gonna shake up standings, the refs have been playing out the script perfectly. That 5th on Reese dude hahah
@GilsArenaShow
This pretty girl representation really feeds into hetero male standards of beauty and yall are trying to have a conversation about building the market and fanbase, no? So now our players have to worry about how they look in addition to how they play? Not on this coach’s team
@jckieyoung
I unfortunately think they don’t and literally corrected someone on this yesterday saying, “just so you don’t get your ass whopped claiming a label that isn’t yours”
after the
@chicagosky
game today i asked teresa weatherspoon a question and her response was everything sacred about women’s basketball and beyond.
#wnba
community continues to be life-changing in the most surprising ways
My biggest beef with TSpoon right now is she didn’t go out of her way to comfort Kamilla on that tech and I don’t think that would be the case with Chenn or Barbie
@___lovelani
Boxes out, chases board and saves it from going out, flip passes to teammate while diving, gets back up on feet, calls for pass to SHOOT. Bruh.
