! What they’ve done and the way they continue to use their platform to raise awareness around social justice is inspiring. 🥺🥺🥺
Yall I got a new position at Nike and I'm super excited to get back to where it all started :). Product Line Manager Nike Men's and Women's Basketball Footwear! Leggo :)
I was in Walmart this morning and this elderly lady was in front of me 👵🏾, her total came out to $160.57 but her card was declined 💳...cashier swiped again, still declined, so with it being the Holidays and all, y’all already know what I did.
Brittney Griner is such a unique person with so many layers, experiences, successes and what some may see as failures but at the end of the day her story NEEDS to be told…

really celebrate us in a major way! It feels great for an organization to reach back, recognize and show love to those who came before. My favorite part of the weekend is seeing those that came before me! ♥️

never plays pro ball ever again I have to say that I’m forever grateful to have had the chance to watch her excellence on the court and to compete against her.
What she’s doing now and has done is so incredibly inspirational; far greater than anything she’s ever
I just don't understand men that go out of their way to degrade and disrespect women's sports. Especially men with daughters!
Seriously, just go about your business and watch what you want. It costs nothing to keep in moving and mind your business. Super weird vibes.
Lord the media loves a negative WNBA story and I just cannot! If you’re gonna cover the league then cover it! Don’t just show up when there’s something negative to talk about. That goes for everyone else too! Period. 😞
The questions we SHOULD be asking in regards to the pay gap between WNBA and NBA players ARE not WHY WNBA players are paid less we should be asking HOW and WHAT we can do as a business to grow our game so that players will be better compensated...

made the playoffs w/o their starting pg, w/o a starting guard from last season, w/o the reigning MVP, w/o last season’s starting big, w/o their new all-star free agent and STILL MADE THE PLAYOFFS!!! Talk about it...

Growing up in DC Nikki McCray was one of my favorite Mystics player. I remember waiting outside of the parking garage after games just to get a glimpse of the players leaving the arena. Nikki would always stop and speak to us! One of my most cherished moments as a kid. RIP 🕊️
We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of former Mystics player Nikki McCray-Penson.
A 2x Olympian, Nikki lit up every room she walked in.
We send our deepest condolences to her family.
Why is there an assumption that most student athletes come from “awful situations”? That’s reckless and extremely bias. Do some? Sure. But so do other students. Stop pushing this narrative around students athletes. Surprise surprise athletes also come from great homes!
Student athletes need structure, they need routine and they need security. Many of them are in awful situations outside of their school/teams and we need to pay attention to that.
Love how professional athletes are using their platform to further the conversation and demand action. However, it’s wildly unfair that the onus is on Black athletes to carry this burden and risk their livelihoods...
Just called Kara and the first thing she says is “Mo I can’t talk to you about what you’re calling me about...” 😭😭😭 I said “Kara! I wanna know how things are going in the bubble!” 🤷🏾♀️😆
Tempted to post a picture of me and BG but not sure what that will solve...
Just hoping my homie is in good spirts and not in danger. Thinking of her daily!

The WNBA waited 135 days after the start of the season before publicly taking a stand against the disgusting and very well documented racism, disrespect and threats against their players that has gone on all season long. I'm sorry but this feels disingenuous, flat and LATE! 😖
The 21-year-old gunman who took over a SunTrust Bank in Florida made five women lie down on the floor before shooting them in the head. Police said there's no indication the gunman intended to rob the bank, nor is he connected to the victims.

Honestly I don’t even want to be on camera, I was enjoying the game but this is very true. WNBA players at a

@cappa23
That was a great game in Connecticut tonight! You are really missing out on some good basketball if you haven’t tuned into the WNBA Finals. Honestly, both teams left it all on the floor. Could have gone either way. Thursday there will be a new WNBA champion!

I'm confused as to how a women's team plays with a men's ball for an entire half and no one noticed or thought to say anything 🤔
It's a pretty noticeable difference especially when you're in season and playing/practicing with a women's ball everyday single day.
It’s my birthday today but 2019 has really been a tough year for me! Shed more thug tears these past two months than I’ve done in my entire life. I lost my grandma in January and my uncle…
Big welcome to an amazing friend and a wonderful basketball mind

!!! I’m so excited for what you will bring to the program! So happy to have you joining the Blue Devil family! See you in Durham soon! 💙💙💙💙
Prayers for the others that lost their lives today along with Kobe. Often times lesser known names are forgotten but we all feel for those families as well 🙏🏾
BG is never outside of my thoughts. Keep thinking of her, tweeting about her and if you're a praying person do that too! She will be home soon! I'm claiming it!
A lot of really good players didn’t make opening day rosters in the W! Don’t be discouraged, keep working and what’s meant for you will come! Believe that! 💯

Candace Parker was most definitely a game changer! An exciting player to watch and to compete against. To come in as a rookie and win MVP is unheard of!!! She did that! Much love and respect to one of the best to ever play the game
@Candace_Parker
🐐
She will be moving soon and officially starts April 1. She joked that the hardest part of the move will be deciding which of her many pairs of shoes will go to Portland with her. 🤷🏾♀️
Shoutout to the

on a season where they didn’t let circumstance change their course or desires! Congrats to the players who seized the opportunity to contribute, to gain experience and shout-out to the vets who held it down 💯

No. His father was murdered by someone who was seemingly Lurking around. I’m not saying he’s right for behaving this way but I can understand his fear from a past experience. That’s human nature
I wish I didn’t tweet so damn much so I could pull up my tweet when I called Mystics in five but I called Mystics in five...

I gotta honestly say that the Mercury have the best fans in the league only because they show up no matter what! A Tuesday night game is still packed in Phoenix and y’all know what crowds can look like on a Tuesday night 🤷🏾♀️💯
