WNBAB #70 WNBA GOAT CYNTHIA COOPER-DYKE Cynthia Cooper-Dyke (born April 14, 1963, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.) is an American basketball player who was the first Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA). In the WNBA’s inaugural season (1997), Cooper-Dyke led the league in scoring while leading her team, the Houston Comets, to the championship. She was named MVP of both the regular season and the playoffs that year Cooper was raised in the Watts section of Los Angeles. She began playing organized basketball at age 16 and quickly took to the sport. She earned a scholarship to the University of Southern California, where she played in the shadow of Cheryl Miller while helping the team to national championships in 1983 and 1984. After college Cooper played professionally in Europe, primarily for a team in Parma, Italy, where she blossomed into a potent scorer and a tenacious defender. She was a member of the 1988 U.S. national team that won the gold medal at the Olympic Games in Seoul. BBy the end of the WNBA’s inaugural season, Cooper had established herself as the league’s first great player. Along with star teammates Sheryl Swoopes and Tina Thompson, Cooper led the Comets to titles in 1998, 1999, and 2000, each time being recognized as the MVP of the playoffs. She was named the league MVP for the second time in 1998. Cooper retired in 2000 and became the head coach of the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury the following year. In 2001 she also married Brian Dyke, and she had twins the following year. She returned to playing basketball in 2003 and permanently retired from the game in 2004 with WNBA career per-game averages of 21 points, 4.9 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.56 steals. #CynthiaCooper #WNBA #WNBABallers #Rockbottomsports #vansilk #ChristieSides #KelseyMitchell #NewYorkLiberty #indianaFever #StephenASmith #RyanClark

WNBAB #69 Angel Reese & Caitlin Clark … There is NO BEEF! After last weekend WNBA ALL STAR Game which featured Team USA and the WNBA All stars which both Clark and Reese were Gina teammates. Real basketball fans understand the competition between players but the last 3 months since both these rookies came to the WNBA it seems like the new fans of the fam didn’t understand that you weee the ONES TAKING SIDES whereas these 2 players have nothing but mutual respect for each other as athletes. Hopefully the rhetoric and nasty tones will disappear since many learned about the WNBA and seen there are even great players in the WNBA. #ElleDuncan #ShannonSharpe #AngelReese #CaitlanClark #ajaWilson #ChicagoSky #KelseyMitchell #NewYorkLiberty #indianaFever #StephenASmith #RyanClark #KamillaCardoso #ChennedyCarter #MichaelaOnyenwere #AliyahBoston #NaLyssaSmith #TemiFagbenle #SkylarDigginsSmith #AlliyahEdwards #MonicaMcNutt #ShsnnonSharpe #StephenASmith #CameronBrink #JewellLloyd #LexieBrown #JewellLoyd #LASparks #NnekaOgwumike #MonicaMcNutt #CameronBrink

WNBAB #68 WNBA All-Star Game: Arike does it again, Clark and Reese help… PHOENIX — Breanna Stewart summoned her inner Yogi Berra after Team WNBA upset Team USA at the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday night. “It was like a little bit of a déjà vu feeling, honestly,” Stewart said. Saturday unfolded in an eerily similar way to the 2021 All-Star Game in Las Vegas: Team WNBA pulled off an eight-point win again, 117-109 this time. Arike Ogunbowale led all scorers, this time with a WNBA All-Star Game-record 34 points. And Ogunbowale won MVP. Again. This year’s WNBA All-Star Game was part of a weekend that rewrote the record books. It started with Allisha Gray’s historic double win in the skills challenge and 3-point contest on Friday night to Ogunbowale’s starring role Saturday, and from Stewart becoming the first player with 30 points and 10 rebounds to Angel Reese becoming the first rookie in All-Star history with a double-double. Here’s are the biggest takeaways from All-Star weekend as the WNBA takes a monthlong break during the Olympics. #CoachSides #ChristieSides #ElleDuncan #ShannonSharpe #AngelReese #CaitlanClark #ajaWilson #ChicagoSky #KelseyMitchell #NewYorkLiberty #indianaFever #StephenASmith #RyanClark #KamillaCardoso #ChennedyCarter #MichaelaOnyenwere #AliyahBoston #NaLyssaSmith #TemiFagbenle #SkylarDigginsSmith #AlliyahEdwards #MonicaMcNutt #ShsnnonSharpe #StephenASmith #CameronBrink #JewellLloyd #LexieBrown #JewellLoyd #LASparks #NnekaOgwumike #MonicaMcNutt #CameronBrink

WNBAB #63 Chennedy Carter scores 33, Angel Reese extends double-double streak to 12 as Sky beat Storm 88-84 SEATTLE — — Chennedy Carter scored a season-high 33 points and rookie Angel Reese extended her WNBA single-season record for consecutive double-doubles to 12 to help the Chicago sky beat the Seattle Storm 88-84 Friday night. Carter shot 15 for 24 and Reese finished with a career-high 27 points and 10 rebounds. Reese, who went into the game leading the WNBA in rebounds (11.8 per game) and offensive rebounds (4.8), made 8 of 13 from the field, 2 of 2 from 3-point range and 9 of 10 from the free-throw line — including 4 of 4 in the final 20 seconds. Reese’s 12 straight double-doubles tied Candace Parker’s WNBA-record streak that spanned the 2009 and 2010 seasons. Reese hit a 3-pointer that gave Chicago (8-11) a 78-70 lead with 6:16 to play.

WNBAB #62 Heart and Soul of the Indiana Fever… Boston, Mitchell, Smith & Wheeler… When it comes to the Indiana Fever basketball team you have 12 players , but the heart and soul of the team is definitely not Caitlin Clark who was the #1 pick in 2024 WNBA draft. Players who had to change their game to help supplement Clark lack of defense and her turnovers with erratic passes . Players like Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, NaLyssa Smith and Erica wheeler had to change their game is satisfy Clark fans. Caitlin Clark is a good basketball player when she can find her sweet spot on the floor, she only can go right and has no mid range game. Seems like her IOWA coach allowed her to shoot but nerved interject playing defense . Ckark average about 25 shots a game in college and her non basketball fans thought that was going to happen in the WNBA. Clark definitely need to engage her mindset of playing defense and to guard the top players in her position. Otherwise she def a LIABILITY ON DEFENSE

WNBAB #61 Lynx beat Sky, Fever defeat Mercury… Fever defeat Mercury PHOENIX — Caitlin Clark had 15 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds and the Indiana Fever rallied for an 88-82 victory over the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday. Clark was just 4-of-14 from the field and 2-of-10 from 3-point range. But she made a pair of free throws with 19.9 seconds to play to put the Fever up three. Indiana had trailed by as many as 15 in the first half. Kelsey Mitchell’s basket with 35 seconds to play gave Indiana the lead for good. She made two free throws with 12.9 seconds to go to seal it. Mitchell scored 16 points, all in the second half. Aliyah Boston had 17 points and eight rebounds and NaLyssa Smith had 12 points and 15 rebounds for the Fever, who closed out June 7-4 after going 1-8 in May. Temi Fagbenle had 10 points for Indiana. “When the challenges came, we stepped up and we attacked them head-on. I couldn’t be more proud of my entire team,” Fever coach Christie Sides said. Lynx defeat Sky The first 30 minutes of Sunday's game at Chicago were nearly unrelenting frustration for the Lynx. Their shots weren't falling, particularly from behind the arc. The Sky used their size to push and shove their way to the offensive and defensive glass. Down five entering the fourth quarter, Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve had a message: don't be frustrated, be focused. Don't let up, dig down. "I knew defense would be our path," Reeve said. It was. Turning their defense up to 11, holding the Sky to just five points on 2-for-23 shooting, the Lynx spent the fourth quarter rallying to a 70-62 victory. #CoachSides #ChristieSides #ElleDuncan #ShannonSharpe #AngelReese #CaitlanClark #ajaWilson #ChicagoSky #KelseyMitchell #NewYorkLiberty #indianaFever #StephenASmith #RyanClark #KamillaCardoso #ChennedyCarter #MichaelaOnyenwere #AliyahBoston #NaLyssaSmith #TemiFagbenle #SkylarDigginsSmith #AlliyahEdwards #MonicaMcNutt #ShsnnonSharpe #StephenASmith #CameronBrink #JewellLloyd #LexieBrown #JewellLoyd #LASparks #NnekaOgwumike #MonicaMcNutt #CameronBrink

WNBAB #60 WNBA FEVER vs MERCURY… WHO WILL PREVAIL? The Indiana Fever will continue to fine-tune their offense around Caitlin Clark when they visit the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday afternoon. After Indiana (7-12) absorbed its second straight loss, an 89-77 defeat at Seattle on Thursday, coach Christie Sides said her team needs the star rookie to shoot more. “Caitlin Clark needs to shoot a minimum of 15 shots a game for us,” Sides told reporters. “She’s got to get shots, and we’ve got to do a better job of setting her up, setting some really good screens for her to get her open.” Clark had 15 points against Seattle, matching Erica Wheeler for the team high, and she did it on 4-of-9 shooting, including 3 of 7 from 3-point range. But Aliyah Boston, NaLyssa Smith and Kelsey Mitchell all took more shots than Clark. The No. 1 draft pick, who’s been routinely face-guarded and draped by defenders, said the Fever could have done better out of their ball screens against the Storm. “I could definitely be a little more aggressive to the basket,” Clark said. “But I think I’m just going to try to take what the defense gives me and try to set my teammates up for success, too.” Clark is averaging 16.2 points, 6.6 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals through 19 games for the Fever. Mitchell has the team high at 16.3 points after making 58.3 percent of her 3-point tries (14 of 24) in the past four games. #CoachSides #ChristieSides #ElleDuncan #ShannonSharpe #AngelReese #CaitlanClark #ajaWilson #ChicagoSky #KelseyMitchell #NewYorkLiberty #indianaFever #StephenASmith #RyanClark #KamillaCardoso #ChennedyCarter #MichaelaOnyenwere #AliyahBoston #NaLyssaSmith #TemiFagbenle #SkylarDigginsSmith #AlliyahEdwards #MonicaMcNutt #ShsnnonSharpe #StephenASmith #CameronBrink #JewellLloyd #LexieBrown #JewellLoyd #LASparks #NnekaOgwumike #MonicaMcNutt #CameronBrink

WNBAB #59 WNBA FEVER NEEDS BETTER GUARDS! Mitchell, Wheeler & Clark is not enough… If you look at the guards in the WNBA the major of them are bigger and stronger then the guards on the Fever. Wheeler should be the point guard starting who has the most heart to go into the paint. Both Mitchell and Clark are shooters. The other 3 guard are ok besides Hill who play more defense than Clark. Wallace and Berger are basically taking up space. There is no veteran leadership on this team. The Fever definitely need a swing forwards who can guard, defend the post and get rebounds. Either way these next couple of games will be hard for the Fever to win. #CoachSides #ChristieSides #ElleDuncan #ShannonSharpe #AngelReese #CaitlanClark #ajaWilson #ChicagoSky #KelseyMitchell #NewYorkLiberty #indianaFever #StephenASmith #RyanClark #KamillaCardoso #ChennedyCarter #MichaelaOnyenwere #AliyahBoston #NaLyssaSmith #TemiFagbenle #SkylarDigginsSmith #AlliyahEdwards #MonicaMcNutt #ShsnnonSharpe #StephenASmith #CameronBrink #JewellLloyd #LexieBrown #JewellLoyd #LASparks #NnekaOgwumike #MonicaMcNutt #CameronBrink

WNBAB #58 Stop finding excuses for Caitlin Clark, a liability on defense, can’t stop top guards. Everyone who are CC fans and not basketball fans are trying to find an excuse for this Avery player. Clatk can’t play defense or guard the top WNBA Guards, she a turnover machine, she can not read the defense because one she pass the ball off SHE STABD STILL!😳😳😳 Problem is she was able to shoot the bell 25-30 times a sane at IOWA, which 2 years straight lost to LSU & SOUTH CAROLINA . All she do is look for that sweet spot and if she can’t get there she lost on the floor. No inside game at all near the paint. Everything is 3’s. She the problem and you all know it. Yes she can shoot and pass, BUT CAN’T PLAY DEFENSE OR WILL DEFEND THE BEST GUARD. And do you expect them to beat the Aces, Storm, Sun, Liberty, Lynx😂😂😂😂😂😂 She needs to understand the fundamentals of TEAM WORK ON THE FLOOR! #CoachSides #ChristieSides #ElleDuncan #ShannonSharpe #AngelReese #CaitlanClark #ajaWilson #ChicagoSky #KelseyMitchell #NewYorkLiberty #indianaFever #StephenASmith #RyanClark #KamillaCardoso #ChennedyCarter #MichaelaOnyenwere #AliyahBoston #NaLyssaSmith #TemiFagbenle #SkylarDigginsSmith #AlliyahEdwards #MonicaMcNutt #ShsnnonSharpe #StephenASmith #CameronBrink #JewellLloyd #LexieBrown #JewellLoyd #LASparks #NnekaOgwumike #MonicaMcNutt #CameronBrink

WNBAB #57 Jewell Loyd scores a season-high 34 points as Storm cool off Caitlin Clark and Fever 89-77 SEATTLE (AP) — Jewell Loyd scored 23 of her season-high 34 points in the first half and played most of the game with a swollen left eye, and the Seattle Storm held Caitlin Clark to just three points in the second half of an 89-77 win over the Indiana Fever on Thursday night. Seattle (11-6) improved to 2-0 in the beginning stages of a WNBA-record nine-game homestand that won’t see the Storm head on the road again until mid-July. Clark finished with 15 points and seven assists, playing before another sold-out crowd with many fans wearing various No. 22 jerseys with her name across the back. But it was Loyd who put on the show. “We knew it was coming and when it comes, it comes in a storm. In a barrage. We know she can rattle off points,” Seattle coach Noelle Quinn said. Loyd made five 3-pointers in the first 20 minutes and her 23 first-half points were the second-most by any player in the WNBA this season. She also missed nearly five minutes of the half after getting inadvertently hit around the left eye late in the first quarter.

WNBAB #51 MEET TEAM USA 2024 & 3x3 TEAM REPRESENTING USA! USA Basketball at the Olympics The United States has medaled every Olympics in which it has participated, dating back to a silver medal in 1976. In total, the USA owns nine gold medals, one silver and one bronze. The U.S has won seven consecutive gold medals, the first of which came at the 1996 Atlanta Games. The 2024 Olympics will be held in Paris. No one player has more familiarity with Team USA on the world’s biggest stage than Diana Taurasi, who will make a record sixth consecutive Olympic appearance later this summer. Her 38 games as a USA Basketball Olympian is second to none, and the 42-year-old veteran will be joined by Kahleah Copper and Brittney Griner as fellow representatives of the Phoenix Mercury in Paris. Taurasi and Griner both return after capturing gold in the 2020 and 2016 Olympic Games, and Breanna Stewart. Napheesa Collier, Chelsea Gray, Jewell Loyd and A’ja Wilson are all also set to run it back from the victorious Tokyo Olympic crew for the red, white and blue in Paris. First-time five-on-five Olympians Sabrina Ionescu, Kelsey Plum, Alyssa Thomas and Jackie Young all have either 3x3 Olympic gold or World Cup gold around their respective resumes’ necks. The committee is ultimately tasked with how to equip USA Women’s National Team head coach Cheryl Reeve with the best group capable of upholding the gold standard. Versatility, familiarity and positional depth, on top of the obvious talent, are among those criteria considered in the process of narrowing to 12. #CoachSides #ChristieSides #ElleDuncan #ShannonSharpe #AngelReese #CaitlanClark #ajaWilson #ChicagoSky #KelseyMitchell #NewYorkLiberty #indianaFever #StephenASmith #RyanClark #KamillaCardoso #ChennedyCarter #MichaelaOnyenwere #AliyahBoston #NaLyssaSmith #TemiFagbenle #SkylarDigginsSmith #AlliyahEdwards #MonicaMcNutt #ShsnnonSharpe #StephenASmith #CameronBrink #JewellLloyd #LexieBrown #JewellLoyd #LASparks #NnekaOgwumike #MonicaMcNutt #CameronBrink

WNBAB #50 Chicago Sky Angel Reese makes WNBA double-double history in 83-72 win over Dallas Wings…. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese made WNBA history Thursday as she registered her seventh consecutive double-double against the Dallas Wings — the longest streak ever for a rookie. Reese registered 16 points and a career-high 18 rebounds in the 83-72 win. “I’m just happy we finally won, and at home,” Reese said in the broadcast after the game. “It’s super exciting for myself. I try to give myself some grace and tell myself I’m doing a good job. But I have so much more to grow and I’m just excited to be in this league and excited to win some more.” Reese came out strong and put up seven rebounds in the game’s first eight minutes, six of which were defensive rebounds. She has had games in which she struggles finishing around the basket, but she was efficient on Thursday by going 7-for-13 from the field. The former LSU Tiger just surpassed the six-game double-double streaks set by Tina Charles in 2010 and Cindy Brown in 1998. Charles’ 22 double-doubles is still the rookie season record, which she set in 2010. Reese has already put up eight double-doubles and has 26 games remaining in the regular season. #CoachSides #ChristieSides #ElleDuncan #ShannonSharpe #AngelReese #CaitlanClark #ajaWilson #ChicagoSky #KelseyMitchell #NewYorkLiberty #indianaFever #StephenASmith #RyanClark #KamillaCardoso #ChennedyCarter #MichaelaOnyenwere #AliyahBoston #NaLyssaSmith #TemiFagbenle #SkylarDigginsSmith #AlliyahEdwards #MonicaMcNutt #ShsnnonSharpe #StephenASmith #CameronBrink #JewellLloyd #LexieBrown #JewellLoyd #LASparks #NnekaOgwumike #MonicaMcNutt #CameronBrink

WNBAB #47 Angel foul on Caitlin was a basketball play upgraded to Flagrant 1! There was more to the game also 😳 And here we go and I was on YouTube you can’t believe the ridiculous THUMBNAILS All mpg them are CLICKBAIT TITLES. So it seems like these folks are definitely not basketball people because if Angel Reese, Aja Wilson,Skylar Diggums Smith and Kelsey Plum very hard fouls WE NEED THE SAME ENERGY! You all know that wasn’t the only play. And Clark didn’t get hit that hard.

WNBAB #46 Caitlin Clark scores 23, leading Fever to 2nd win over Sky this WNBA season…. The rivalry that WNBA fans have been hoping to see between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese developed further Sunday afternoon as the Indiana Fever defeated the Chicago Sky, 91-83, in a fiercely contested matchup. Clark scored 23 points on 7-for-11 shooting from the floor, adding eight rebounds and nine assists. She started off hot for the Fever, making her first three shots and scoring seven points in the first quarter. That matched her entire scoring total from Thursday’s win over the Atlanta Dream. Angel Reese couldn’t beat foul trouble Reese was limited by foul trouble, going to the bench with four personals after picking up three in the third quarter. That included being called for a flagrant foul upon review after hitting Clark in the head on a drive to the basket. The foul trouble stalled what appeared to be a good game for Reese, who led the Sky with nine points at halftime. She finished with 11 points, a team-high 13 rebounds and five assists. Marina Mabrey led Chicago with 22 points, while Chennedy Carter followed with 18 and Dana Evans finished with 12. Kamilla Cardoso scored 10 and grabbed 10 boards, initially helping the Sky to assert their frontcourt advantage over Indiana. #CoachSides #ChristieSides #ElleDuncan #ShannonSharpe #AngelReese #CaitlanClark #ajaWilson #ChicagoSky #KelseyMitchell #NewYorkLiberty #indianaFever #StephenASmith #RyanClark #KamillaCardoso #ChennedyCarter #MichaelaOnyenwere #AliyahBoston #NaLyssaSmith #TemiFagbenle #SkylarDigginsSmith #AlliyahEdwards #MonicaMcNutt #ShsnnonSharpe #StephenASmith #CameronBrink #JewellLloyd #LexieBrown #JewellLoyd #LASparks #NnekaOgwumike #MonicaMcNutt #CameronBrink
