Plum will join Neighbors & Co. tasked with assisting current and future Hogs with...arkansasrazorbacks.com
I wish Kelsey good fortune, but I do not see her as an Olympic point guard. She can prove me wrong and I'll be happy.
Dry wit! or maybe Droll?How about 3x3 basketball?
Exciting, can't wait to get back on track for the Olympics.A fantastic foursome of Kelsey Plum, Napheesa Collier, Stefanie Dolson and Allisha Gray to play for 3x3 Olympic bid
USA Basketball announced on Monday that Kelsey Plum, Napheesa Collier, Stefanie Dolson and Allisha Gray will represent Team USA in the Women’s 3x3 Olympic Qualifying Tournament March 18-22 in Bengaluru, India.www.swishappeal.com
March 18th? Will Kelsey be ready to go? I think her achilles rupture was in May, that's well less than a year. I think Stewie had a full year plus a little bit to rehab her similar injury.
I don't know if this is a joke or genuine question...but I'm taking it as genuine question.Exciting, can't wait to get back on track for the Olympics.
But Bengaluru? I think Bangalore hasn't been called that in a century, except maybe by academics.
Looks like I'm wrong. My last trip to Bangalore was in early 2014. My work still takes me to Hyderabad every couple years and Bangalore is a frequent topic of conversation since it's a popular destination for a weekend trip. For whatever reason folks still call it Bangalore. I've never heard someone use Bombay. that's always Mumbai.I don't know if this is a joke or genuine question...but I'm taking it as genuine question.
As of November 2014, India officially changed the name to Bengaluru (pre-British occupation it was Bendakalooru). So, the author of the article is being correct. Similar to the Mumbai/Bombay name update. Many cities in India have changed their names since the British withdrew.

I don’t either. I think the new guards will be Chelsea Gray and Skylar Diggins. Of course Diana and Sue will be on the roster whether they can play or not. So that would be 4. —Griner, Aja Wilson, Nneka, Tina, Stewie, McCoughtry, Delle Donne make 11. I know Maya has said that she would sit out but the Olympics have been pushed back a year so that’s another spot. I think the last spot will be Stef Dolson. Or Seimone or Odyssey. I don’t see her making the team.I wish Kelsey good fortune, but I do not see her as an Olympic point guard. She can prove me wrong and I'll be happy.
Oh I definitely didn’t read the article. Thanks for correcting me. I still don’t see on her the national team though.People seem to continue to misunderstand. Plum is going to the Olympics as part of the 3 x 3 event (presuming she has healed), not the full national team event.
