Just making a thread for those who watched the game/series/playoffs.

Unbelievable Aces team, a bit speechless, congratulations to the presumptive Finals MVP A'ja Wilson

I can't fucking stand the common "who cares" attitude about posts like this. I'm happy there's one here, I wanted to see what people in the NBA subreddit were saying about the WNBA finals, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that Breanna Stewart really laid an egg.

I’ll wholeheartedly admit that I found it very funny back when the WNBA and its players/teams were being actively hostile and accusatory even to those supporting the league (the infamous Luka ROTY congratulations video), but the league has strayed away from that for what I believe to be the better. They’re now promoting the product not based on “you’re an evil sexist if you don’t watch it”, but rather based on the talent, storylines, and rivalries they’re building organically. I hope they keep going in this direction cause more basketball is better for everyone.

I think a lot of that was a natural, bitter response to the very real sexism they face. Some of the ESPN Twitter post and community posts on YT are fucking brutal. Like legitimately disgusting in its bigotry. Bold faced misogyny, don't even try to hide it. I don't blame them for being bitter about it.

What they have now is built on everything that has been accomplished to this point. They were fighting for recognition. It didn't look pretty but fighting isn't always pretty.

Now they're ascending and I'm honestly shocked at how well they handle the bullshit. They handle unwarranted criticism better than a lot of NBA players lmao
