I will add a couple of thoughts. I think overall Cathy has done a good job. I think the big thing was getting the NBA players buy-in (attending games, wearing apparel, talking about them in interviews) to normalize watching and discussing the WNBA. During a recent interview with one of the...

It is interesting the first 3 players you listed each won 3 MVP's, so 9 in total. Between them, they won 8 consecutive years between 2000-2007, Jackson won her last in 2010. In 4 of those 8 years, the runner-up was one of the other two in that group, so they were competing against each other...

I thought I would also look at it from a different perspective. Coaches and Conferences I picked Stevens and Nelson-Ododa over Charles

I appreciate the feedback, unfortunately even as the poster I can't edit the title or options in the POLL. If admin can edit, that would be much appreciated. I agree that Kelsey Mitchell (5.6 WS & 19.9 PER) is much more likely to receive MVP votes than Aliyah Boston (7.1 WS & 22.8 PER) but I...

Based on my post from five years ago, only once has a player won a WNBA MVP without being in the Top 6 for both Win Shares (WS) and Player Efficiency Rating (PER). This season there are 4 players who met that criteria (minimum 500 MP): A'ja Wilson - 1st WS and 1st PER Napheesa Collier - 2nd WS...
