I watched some WNBA highlights for the first time
It's more entertaining than I thought it would be. Do a lot of these chicks shoot with two hands though, or am I just imagining things?

The criteria for the W25
The W25 is a selection of the 25 "greatest and most influential players since its inception in 1997." The league has done iterations of this in five-year increments starting with the All-Decade Team and continuing with the Top 15 and Top 20@20.

A group of media members, women’s basketball pioneers, coaches and advocates voted from a provided list of candidates. The qualifications are slightly different each time. Those considered for the W25 must have been a player in the WNBA for at least two seasons and meet at least four of the following seven criteria:

• Won at least one of the major, individual postseason basketball awards: MVP, Finals MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, Most Improved Player, Sixth Woman of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Kim Perrot Sportsmanship Award, Peak Performer (league leader in points/rebounds/assists per game in a season)
  
  
• Selected to All-WNBA First or Second Team
  
  
• Selected to All-Defensive First or Second Team
  
  
• Selected to WNBA All-Star Game (starter, reserve, replacement player)
  
  
• Won a WNBA championship
  
  
• Ranked (as of July 31, 2021) among top-40 career leaders in at least one of 10 statistical categories: points, ppg, rebounds, rpg, assists, apg, steals, spg, blocks, bpg
  
  
• Selected as winner of season-long WNBA Community Assist Award

The WNBA provided voters with a list of 72 official candidates. One player met all seven qualifications and 20 met six of seven. This criteria meant some previous honorees, such as Dawn Staley, were not qualified.

Griner and Diggins should be enough to beat the Liberty at home even w/o Taurasi

Mercury playing some dumbass defense on that last possession, you know they needed a 3, they were lax defending the perimeter
