Great answer by T-Spoon. Noelle Quinn had a fantastic answer to this, too, on a Q from Ben Pickman of The Athletic.

We just got off of an #Unrivaled call with Noelle Quinn - head coach of the Breeze. I asked her, specifically, about drafting both Dominique Malonga and Cam Brink, their versatility to play east to west, guarding the rim, and if they'll see the floor together. Here's what she said.

I think it makes business sense for a growing league to do it this way. It's what #Unrivaled did with their draft a couple of weeks ago. Allows you to get the social clips ready, marketing videos, behind the scenes, and lists out to media under embargo to push out. Smart move by #WPBL

In a meeting for one of my jobs, and they are talking about an upcoming event. "And we have a fantastic guest of honor who you might recognize!" The guest:

Tomorrow at Walking Bucket. Kim Caldwell's offense isn't a gimmick, but there have been plenty throughout the history of sports. Let's look at them. #NCAAWBB (please read @emmabaccellieri.bsky.social's amazing piece) Plus: - Trinity Rodman! - #WNBA CBA latest - #NWSL title walking-bucket.ghost.io

Transgender individuals are more likely to experience violence, including intimate partner violence. They are also more likely to experience homelessness, poverty, unemployment, and other risk factors. There are also greater barriers to seeking and receiving help. #TransgenderDayofRemembrance

I think there are only a handful of three-letter initials that I dislike more than RFP

Well Madison Bumgarner once dated someone named Madison Bumgarner, so

Jarrett. Allen. 😲

Our wedding song was by Adele. It's the only Adele song that I can still listen to. This album came out right when my partner and I separated. Given that it's about divorce, I can't listen to it. It's beautiful. Brought me to tears. I just can't do it.

Slightly better than warm airplane food and equivalent to hospital food.

About to take a call from a phone scammer just to try to cure the male loneliness epidemic.

Right? This is what I keep coming back to.

WHAT

Baby girl - those Epstein Files are going to be so scrubbed and redacted.

Your daily “imagine if any other president in history did this” moment. (Also applied to the Andrew Tate situation from this morning)

That part. Kudos to you. I want nothing to do with it. Will not write about it. Will not cover it. Nada.

Hey Project B

Exhausting weekend with family in town. Back to work today. Realllllllly want to see Sir Chloe tonight in Atlanta. I. Don't. Know. If. My. Body. Can. Handle. It.

Happy Tuesday, all. I hope that your butthole pictures that you send today get more than a "niiiice" response. 🙏

Picked up Black Rabbit a month later. I live for this shitty TV

Am I the only one that sees Nick Pollack of @pitcherlist.com every time I look at Jakob Poeltl?

Love seeing how aggressive Tessa Johnson is being offensively. Didn’t even give a second thought to letting that three fly. #NCAAWBB

Are onside kicks allowed in the NFL still? How does it work, if so?

Dawn has to be SO pissed that Samuels made that buzzer beater. Went full court way too easily. #NCAAWBB

Fun fact - Paul Skenes has thrown 983 of the Pirates. The other one? John Jaso (This isn’t real)

Flex on them, Vivian Iwuchukwu. Fantastic work running the floor for #USC #NCAAWBB

Let’s. Go. Spirit. #NWSL

I haven’t seen my family in 2.5 years 🥲

WEMBYYYYYY
