From yesterday
The Warriors organization asked me to make some videos for their YT channel. Here is the second video!

If you REALLY want to know about how Natalie Nakase was built, I traced her family history back to incarceration during WWII & the Japanese-American leagues that broke barriers for girls & offered her father Gary a deeper truth: BASKETBALL:

You know how Bay Area fans rewatch Steph Curry highlights and championship games when they’re down? Ya the girls are gonna watch that Gabby Williams second half performance like that. And that’s a beautiful thing
Some news: I will be moving my more boots-on-the-ground Santa Cruz Warriors coverage to @BoardwalkBucket (formerly GSWReddit).
Wanted to get a little separation for those who mostly follow me for CBA insights, and revive the other account while getting more eyes on the G League.

Before Game 7, Veronica Burton’s biggest believer Natalie Nakase sent her a highlight reel with all of her best plays from Games 4, 5, and 6 and told her to watch them with her favorite gospel song “Gratitude” in the background.

NEW 📝📝📝:
“You would have to drag me off the court at this point to get me off there... I couldn't even feel my legs. You just keep going.”
Adrenaline and willpower kept Veronica Burton’s legs chugging in Game 7. But hard work, dedication, and faith are what forged her indomitable heart of a champion.
Story on how Golden State’s fearless leader was brought to tears in her moment in the sun:

2 years in and I’m winning (get it, like the Valkyries ;)

Honored to be praised by one of the best young reporters and also feeling f’ing old
An absolute gift from the great @EricApricot (who is quite literally my childhood hero).
Here’s his video documenting as many media scrums we could all get our hands on after the Valkyries won Game 7 of the WNBA Finals:
