Was online previously but appeared in print today. Long article, I glanced at it but didn't read it.

Nice read. Not very surprising but it is great to see two puzzle pieces fitting so well. And of course a gratuitous adorable picture

They make a nice couple, though I’m still adjusting to seeing Sue as the TALLER person in the couple.

I've always liked both of them. I hope they stay happy together.

Really enjoyed reading about two very strong, extremely talented women come together and share their lives. While as stated in the article that it is much easier to come out than it was even ten years ago, it's still a struggle for too many even today.
It's just interesting to see how their similarities and their differences meld together.
I too do think their both being so prominent in their respective sports, inspires many others.
Being a big fan of women's sports, especially basketball and soccer, and seeing their comfort and support of one another, inspires me and makes me review myself and my 46 year relationship with my wife.
Best wishes to both of them to have a hopefully long, healthy and happy lives together!

I enjoy any articles about on of "our girls" being settled and happy, but Sue is 39? Say it ain't so! It seem like if was just yesterday that she stepped on campus.

Sue is 37 and will be 38 in October. She’s 3rd in the league in assists per game, at 6.3 this season, and first in career assists.

Oops, I was afraid I had the age wrong. Thanks!

Fully aware that she is still one of the best PGs in the game.

As Kelsey Plum might say, an oldie but a goodie.
