July 19, 2019 - The 2019 WNBA All-Star Game in Las Vegas Saturday July 27 (3:30 pm et) on ABC, will feature five newcomers. For these players, the weekend will represent the first time they are officially recognized among their contemporaries as elite.

For one of those players — 23-year-old Kia Nurse, who was chosen as a starter in just her 2nd season in the league — it also represents yet another checked box on her journey to what appears will be stardom. She has become a key piece for a New York Liberty team fighting to make the Playoffs and figures to be big part of the franchise’s future plans.

Nurse shoots and makes a lot of three-pointers. She currently ranks fourth in the league in total 3PM (38) and fifth in long-range attempts (104). The All-Star has a quick release and can gather and shoot in a split-second, allowing her to get off shots with only an inch of space. She’s a threat both on the catch and off the dribble.

Never thought that some days Kia is going to shake and bake to the basket.

I have to admit, I thought she would be a serviceable pro player, but did not see her elevating her game like this. But as a 100% Kia fan (even though I don't follow the pro game hardly at all) I'm really happy for her.

Maybe she gave us a hint of future greatness when she led the Canadian national team to a victory of a USA team with Breanna Stewart. Like Rocky pummeling that side of beef. "I think you need to look at this!"
