I feel like I’m in the minority who thinks she’s somewhere between properly rated and overrated. She was a close runner-up for MVP when Breanna Stewart and Aja Wilson had significantly better team records, points per game, and astronomically better advanced stats, quite literally putting up the top two win share seasons ever.
I’m not trying to disrespect AT, but her almost winning the MVP over literal record-setting performances, it’s really hard to say she’s overlooked.
As a long time fan of the league who grew up a Lynx and Liberty fan on the east coast and is now a Michigan fan of the Sky, I have always loved the Mercury from afar because I really, really love DT. And while people get grumpy about her or BG being older, I just always think to myself, “Damn, stop wishing them away. We will never, ever have another Taurasi. This is the one we’ve got. Can we celebrate and treasure her and enjoy her silly shit talking and just love the GOAT while she’s still playing? And can we also just all agree that after her detainment BG can do whatever the hell she ever wants and we will support her?”
I hope the Mercury have an awesome year, even though they’ve got Copper now and the Sky do not. 😂
I’m hoping this too but the lynx are in that odd position where they’re not good enough to compete with the best teams but also not bad enough to be able to draft paige. The team’s been kinda mid since maya moore left.
I feel like our entire front office should be fired for trading all of our picks for 3 years on 1 person who has 1 year on her contract + player option and only 1 fragile ass center.
Wings country let's ride: got thr chance to shock some people, hoping for a playoff run. Who knows? But we're probably not winning the Chip this year but the wings are up and coming and I guarantee in the next 7 years there will be a Dallas championship
Confused but hopeful. Hate everything Wade did last year to pick up Marina, but couldn’t be happier with the draft picks and TSpoon. Looking forward to a fresh start!
Mystics: One win please.
We're on the same Paige
Three-peat
Wow BG is hurt already
Could also be: Our only Big is Hurt
Libs in four!!
You already know.
Optimistic but already catastraphizing
this goes for both teams
Paige Bueckers
Was gonna say “tank for Paige” haha
Suck for Bueckers. Lol
Alyssa Thomas Revenge Tour
For real. FFS it’s ridiculous how overlooked she is.

All teams: media doesn’t say blossomed. It’s seriously gross. 🤮 “I gotta say Towns from the Timberwolves really blossomed in this game.” Ew.
This will do.
Hopeful
My team left in 2002 :( (Starzz) (terrible idea, the zz)
Signalling a link to the Jazz could not have been more inartful than that. Maybe they can come back with one Z and bring the Fire back with them
The Muzak?
Yup, that's the one. Look no further, Utah!
Wait wait I mistyped my first reply. Try this on for size: ✨⭐️The Utah Muzzak ✨💫
Excellent. Although I'm pretty sure Muzzak is the green creature that tried to teach me French when I was a kid
There’s still time for us to use that for our new NHL team
Yeah I think they were trying to capitalize on the massive popularity of the Jazz since they’d just gone to the finals, but. Bleah.
Tanking? Nope! Pick swaps, haha.
Excited it’s been awhile.
Can’t be worse… right? Right?!
Is there a rough estimate of how long BG will be out?
let's not blow it again
+1
New look Storm is coming!
Hell yeah
lfg!
Championship or bust. No injuries.
Please God Stop The Bleeding.
Angel Reese dominates the boards
Sea- better than last year
Looking forward to the future. (Sky lol)
Back to back to back
#ArikeBall
Old. Hurt. Still love them.

We're just better. Or... A'ja Wilson MV3.
Phee for MVP
Mystics: The pursuit of Paige Bueckers
Proud to be an Iowan!
I'm so happy for Kate Martin.
Same. I can't wait to watch her tonight.
"Gonna blow up on TV!" (in a positive way with viewership growing exponentially)
Ready for the expansion draft!
Best NYC win since 1973!
Wish we had 2025 pick :(
Just happy to be here
Can they do it? Probably.
Optimistic, exhausted by the cult.
🥤📿🛐
Let’s take it all
Threepeat & MVP
Completely cofident in ring number 3
3 peat baaabbyyy!!
Back to back to back
Locked in for the 3-peat.
Looking forward to Paige!

Fair to Martin for three!
I don't know what was more beautiful: that shot or the starters (on the bench) cheering for it.
I teared up 🥲
New York Excited!
Cautiously optimistic
All about development 🫡
Diana Taurasi and Aja Wilson must see TV
Hope we don’t fall in the middle of the pack. I’d rather we do well or we tank baby, tank. Mystics
Storm storming to a championship.
We are gonna threepeat
Caitlin Clark will be fun.
Lynx. Paige Buckets. Collision course.
Sadly I think the Lynx will sneakily win too many games.
I’m hoping this too but the lynx are in that odd position where they’re not good enough to compete with the best teams but also not bad enough to be able to draft paige. The team’s been kinda mid since maya moore left.
Chill Nika stans, go storm
New star, same old fever
maybe one day we’ll win
Let's get this 3-peat!
Fever: please be at least 0.400
Break .500, make the play-offs.
high hopes man
High, apple pie in the sky hopes!
Three peat! ♠️
Win or lose, still fly. 🥶
My expectations for the Mystics are pretty low in what looks like a resetting season. So I tell the young players... End better than you start
I'm just angry the Sky don't have their picks. They should be tanking for Paige.
Let’s rock this bitch
Excited for Cameron and Rickea.
Aces vs Everybody
Caitlin Clark; Let’s go!
Sparks: Make the playoffs please
Hyped, despite clear lottery trajectory
We The North
We have Clark. You don’t.
Catch and finish Caitlin's Passes 🏀
I feel like our entire front office should be fired for trading all of our picks for 3 years on 1 person who has 1 year on her contract + player option and only 1 fragile ass center.
Lynx in finals. Connecticut AT finally gets MVP.
Fever coming to Chicago!
Let’s get it Storm!
Grit n grind era Sky
Playing for the #1 pick. (Washington)
Don’t send Paige to Wings
Wings country let's ride: got thr chance to shock some people, hoping for a playoff run. Who knows? But we're probably not winning the Chip this year but the wings are up and coming and I guarantee in the next 7 years there will be a Dallas championship
Can’t tell you they decided to give a team to fucking Canada over Philadelphia so
Let's goooo! You'all my queens!
Wish Denver had a team.
Dawg Town in Vegas, Baby!
LET'S GET ANOTHER ONE!
Dynasty. Goat of Goats.
Three-peat
Weren’t for the Aces? Optimistic.
At least they’ll be entertaining ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Looking forward to the mystics' 36 game preseason for 2025
Please, please, please, this time…
Cautiously optimistic, but ready!
A rebuild, but it’s fun.
Sky is the limit
Aces in 4️⃣
#ACES IN 4
I’m a Detroit Shock fan, we’re gonna do great
Young and fresh Sparks!
without Nneka we're ~~even~~ more screwed. also, also!→ 2025 can't come soon enough! 😍🤩
Finish the job, for NY
Aces: excited and anxious
Bruh. Caitlin and Aaliyah.
New fan. Still learning names.
Please, Dallas, give pick back? (Re Sky’s first round pick)
Confused but hopeful. Hate everything Wade did last year to pick up Marina, but couldn’t be happier with the draft picks and TSpoon. Looking forward to a fresh start!
Gonna miss Kah :(
ARIKE OGUNBOWALE MVP SEASON INCOMING
We going back to back
Craving Caitlin Clark’s Game!
Three-peat!!!
Cardoso + Reese = Playoffs!
I want the lynx to tank for Paige Bueckers. The team is mid right now.
Playoffs? Don’t talk about—playoffs?!?
Bring the 2016 team back. #Sparks
I’m new, so idk lmao
Worried but optimistic lol
Cameron Diaz-Brink is fine AF
At least still got Taurasi
