Love this article. Talked to one of my friends who played on the Sol, and she says it all checks out. They treated players extremely well and embraced LGBTQ fans (neither were standard at the time), and then folded abruptly, which was sad and made us all worry about the stability of the league.

All she does is WIN 🏆 Jackie Young makes history becoming the first player to win a High School State Title, NCAA Championship, WNBA Championship, Olympic 5x5 Gold Medal, Olympic 3x3 Gold Medal and now a FIBA World Cup Title.

We already know what No. 1 is

In her past 12 games, Veronica Burton has dished out 77 assists with just 9 turnovers. No other player in WNBA history has ever had a 12 game stretch that featured 10 or fewer TOs and even 60 assists. An unbelievable run at the point guard position. (stats via @acrossthetimeline.com)
