And an additional shoutout to lo-o-o-o-ng-time Pistons press room assistant Steve Stuckey... In addition to being a great help, Stuck has been a cherished friend to many writers over the many years.

My anecdote on why the Warriors’ crew is consistently among the best: At shootaround during this season’s visit to Philly, they coordinated at least five reporters’ separate 1-on-1 interviews with players, including Steph and Draymond. That simply does not happen around most of the league.

Delighted we could recognize Napheesa’s work to promote the game, which was extraordinary as always, even in a year she led the Minnesota Lynx to the
#WNBA
finals and founded an entire other league! Appreciate her and all players who help us tell their stories.
