So… Shannon Sharpe was court side for Aces vs Fever. I asked him which Aces player(s) he would like to have on Club Shay Shay.
I let A’ja and Kelsey know he would like to invite them…
A’ja “Y’all be blessed. Eat ya vegetables. Go to sleep on time.”

Diana Taurasi “This shit fukn sucks. It’s a good reminder, we gotta come to play no matter who we are.” DT is 42-years-old, she’s not sugar coating a thing. And, yes, she has earned and deserves her spot on Team USA.

Michael Porter Jr is playing in Breanna Stewart’s signature shoe this season. His sisters are hoopers, his mom averaged 58.7 pts and was named “Miss Basketball” in Iowa as a senior.
So super weird & musty for him to fix his mouth to disrespect the women of the WNBA way he did.
Inspired by the Porter family’s love for women’s basketball & legacy in hoops, MPJ is playing in Breanna Stewart’s Puma signature shoe this season.

A’ja Wilson & the Las Vegas Aces are banged up physically and mentally. I asked A’ja how she was feeling overall. “It does suck that we just can’t complete it game after game, after game.”

FWIW, it doesn’t sound as if the Aces have personality problems. It’s a personnel problem. They have to figure out how these pieces fit together. Kelsey Plum also had an analogy about baking a cake in reference to missing Chelsea Gray on the court. She said something like, you
