Sabrina is becoming a lot of people's favorite villain ... but to become that, you have to be a really good player. And she is.
She's white, of course, which dreamfan12 has emphasized is an issue, and she's had opportunities other players haven't had, most of those players being Black. But even if Sabrina gets more than her share, the share she deserves is still pretty big.
i will say, it would've made a lot of sense to have Rhyne Howard (39% 3pt on the season) in the 3pt contest. unfortunately i believe she was named EDD’s replacement after they had already named the 3pt contest participants. perhaps there would be slightly fewer complaints about the whole thing...
and as for the skills contest, one should absolutely have to make a 3pt attempt in order to move onto the next skill if the player is already given three attempts at making it. or just DQ the player aka the team if you can’t make it after three attempts. it definitely cheapened the Aces' team win in my eyes – way to choke, Plummer! 😩

The 3pt contest should have been: Young, Ionescu, Karlie Samuelson, Rhyne Howard, Loyd and Chelsea Gray. Lexie Brown was shooting at 42% before her undisclosed illness sidelined her. Carrington and Kelsey Mitchell had no business being there. Whitcomb is shooting just 36.6% this season.
i too disagreed with Whitcomb’s inclusion. Loyd and her impressive 40% 3pt were right there! although i do always luv seeing Sami shoot the ball, even as it doesn’t go in as often as we all would like lol. the backspin she puts on it when it goes in is just so pretty! 🤩
interesting that we’ll have a 2024 ASG despite it being an Olympic year. i know there was one in 2021 when it was an Olympic year, but different circumstances. i think that’s the right move!
not sure why they just cut off televising Kehlani’s halftime performance 😵💫 i’m sure it’ll be available to rewatch online later, but still. weird tease.
