Yโall have no idea what this bronze means. Thereโs barely any investment in Olympic sports in Brazil, only soccer. These women have funded themselves for the majority of their lives. Rebeca came from the favelas. These are super heroes who have beat all odds.
A reporter asked Rebeca Andrade what was going through her mind during warm ups ahead of the teams final. She super naturally responded that she was thinking about recipes she was browsing the day before, so now thatโs the main meme in Brazil and Iโm obsessed
Btw, one of the athletes in the team designs some of the leotards. She told recently that her dad used to make her leotards before the Brazilian gymnastic federation got a sponsorship in 2018. Now they have more options but still weigh in on the designs!

Ok, so you have Angel Reese (Sky) and Brittney Griner (Mercury) who have been harassed and threatened probably more than any other player in the league flying commercial, but one of the most celebrated players (CC) will fly charter. It's giving... we all know what it is giving.
The Sky will not be traveling via charter for the first road trip of the season. Elizabeth Williams told me players have a town hall with commissioner Cathy Engelbert today & are expecting more clarity.

Many people are not ready for this conversation, but if Kamilla Cardoso was American sheโd be receiving the same attention as other high profile NCAA names for a much longer time.
This highlights a whole other layer to the issues weโre facing in WBB today: media outlets taking quotes completely out of context and creating graphics to manipulate peopleโs perception. This is evil and the opposite of what the WNBA needs right now.
Asked Coach Noelle Quinn what contributed to the Storm jumping from 27 rebounds last game to 36 this one. She started the answer with: "Kamilla only played 20 minutes, that helps..." And then of course proceeded to give the praise her players deserve.
Brittney Griner spent a good amount of time postgame signing autographs and taking photos with fans. Not a single person she passes by doesnโt want a selfie, an autograph, a fist bump or even a quick acknowledgment of their presence. The way people are happy for her is special!
Many people asked, so here is Skylar Diggins-Smith during the Stormโs postgame press conference after losing to the Washington Mystics with subtitles.
โI fucked it up at the end. As a vet, you canโt make that play. But it shouldnโt come down to thatโ
Q:
@WNBAStormChaser
Angel Reese was all love and compliments towards Kamilla Cardoso in the postgame presser.
โI told her this was her game โฆ They didnโt have anyone to guard her โฆ I love her confidenceโ
When I say Kamilla would be much more valued by the media if she were Americanโฆ how did NO ONE interview her post game? 15 pts, 17 reb, 3 blk. Yโall just use her for the cool highlights. GIVE HER SPACE TO SPEAK. Thatโs absolute disrespect.
Last night I asked Brittney Griner, the first WNBA player ever to attend the Met Gala (2023), about Angel Reese's appearance this year and the new popularity players have achieved. Below is sneak peek at her response. Spoiler: She thought Reese's dress was AMAZING!

Jogadoras latinas realmente nรฃo tem o mรญnimo de respeito nessa liga. ร o Fever boicotando a Damiris, o Chicago Sky descaradamente desmerecendo a Kamilla Cardoso, o Wings nรฃo dando tempo para a Stephanie. Isso sem contar que as latinas sempre sรฃo as primeiras a serem cortadas.
Someone asked about Nikaโs debut in the postgame presser and both Jewell and Nneka starting laughing saying it was so loud out there they could barely hear her calling plays.
(Donโt remember who asked the Q, so pls @ them if you know)
SOURCES: Nika didnโt travel to Canada due to visa restrictions. She was on a student visa and the updating process is a little finicky now that she graduated. Ezi is resting as She just arrived to the Storm this week.

๐งต Here is why I believe the Stephen vs. Sabrina challenge will provide a visibility boost to the NBA and not the WNBA. In fact, Iโll dare to say that the NBA is using the WNBA to improve the ASG ratings and attract more fans, and not the other way around as most have assumedโฆ
Anyway, if you wanna hear Kamilla Cardoso speaking โจPortugueseโจ (not Spanish, which is not the language we speak in Brasil), watch the video below and follow my outlet and myself for more bilingual womenโs basketball coverage.

Soโฆ When Sheryl Swoopes talks about CC she gets attacked by the clarkette mob. When she doesnโt talk about her, the same happens. These people are certifiably insane and Stephen A. Smith knows exactly what heโs doing: inciting hate over a WNBA legend for clicks and likes.
Storm Head Coach Noelle Quinn also had a few things to say.
โIt doesnโt come down to schemes. It doesnโt come down to actions. It just comes down to, sometimes, playing harder than your opponent. And weโre not doing that right now. And weโre not doing that together right now.โ

Thatโs why it pisses me off reading people say that the USA is superior. Itโs not a matter of superiority, itโs a matter of FUNDING. The beauty of the Olympics is that you have these nations that scrape by fighting side by side with wealthy nations and still end up top 3.

Kamilla Cardoso was shaken up and Angel Reese was right there to make sure her teammate was alright. These two are doing to be a problem in the paint for opposing teams.
Was very nervous to put this out there, but itโs an important subject and we have to talk about it. The WNBA media deal is equivalent to only 2.9% of the NBA, but the WNBA has experienced +150% in viewership whereas the NBA saw an 11.6% dip. Make it make sense ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ

to comment on fans coming from all over the world to watch her in Seattle. Well, today I stand as a Storm PR in this photo partially bc of her impact abroad, as I came to know the WNBA due to the 2006 FIBA World Cup back home in Brazil. Thank you, Sue! ๐๐
Asked Sue Bird to reflect on the fact that Storm rookies Nika Mรผhl and Mackenzie Holmes get to enter the WNBA with immediate access to a practice facility designated exclusively to WNBA players and how that differs from her experience and others. Below is part of her response โฌ๏ธ
๐ง๐ท Kamilla Cardoso marcou 18 pontos com eficiรชncia de 72.7% (8/11) nos arremessos. Apenas duas rookies terminaram acima de 70% nos seus arremessos, com mais de 5 tentados, em 2024: Kamilla e Aaliyah Edwards, sendo Kamilla a รบnica a fazer isso duas vezes (14/6 e 23/6).

Watching the recording of Sky at Fever as I had to miss it yesterday and Erica Wheeler defending Kamilla Cardoso yesterday brought me back to these iconic WNBA images:
Acabei de entrevistar a Pokey Chatman, consultora tรฉcnica da seleรงรฃo brasileira de basquete feminino. Papo muito legal. Quem estรก interessado no que ela tem a dizer sobre expectativas e planos para o futuro do Brasil? ๐
What is most impressive is not only that Kamilla Cardoso got to 22 points today, a career-high. She did so shooting 63.6%, and that keeps her atop the rookie ranking in FG%. She leads all rookies with 50.8%.

I know I'm biased, but I truly can't understand Kamilla being on the bench since Q3. There's clearly some confusion going on right now, Sky players are trying to put the ball under the basket but keep turning it over. They also can't stop the Storm under the opposite basket.
