The Connecticut Sun's Alyssa Thomas just put up a stat line of 21points, 20 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks, and only 1 turnover, playing all 40 minutes in a 10 point victory [Edit: Final box score gives her 1 block and 0 turnovers]. She's by far the WNBA's career triple double leader, and before this game she was leading the league in rebounding and second in assists.
If you've never seen her play, she has power forward size (for the W), is a defensive player of the year candidate, plays a point guard role on offense, and due to torn labrums in both shoulders, her jump shot and foul shot are completely jacked up so she rarely shoots outside the paint. Imagine Ben Simmons with heart, competitive fire, and mental toughness.

Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interesting.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

I'm not a fan of mixing business and family (has a tendency to damage family relationships while also hindering business efficiency) but to each their own.
I guess we do have plenty of brothers as teammates with no apparent issues
i find peace in the sacrifice

MVP.

Imagine playing in the league at the same time as Stewie and A'ja and being a legit candidate to win both these awards in the same season. AT is special.
