It is that time of year again my friends! Not only is the summer season in full swing, but our incredible WNBA season as well.
With stellar feats like Angel Reese’s historic 15 consecutive double-double run, A’ja Wilson putting up her 7th 30+ point game of the season (with 18 rebounds and 5 blocks as well btw!!) and our Iowa girl Caitlin Clark winning TWO ESPY awards, I know what you’re thinking… HOW can this get any better??
With the 20th WNBA All-Star game of course! Something about the WNBA All-Star game this season that makes it even more special is that is coincides with the 2024 Olympics, and will be featuring our USA women’s team. This marks the second time team USA will be featured against the remaining WNBA All-Stars.
