From MLB All-Star MVP to WNBA Glory: Can I Break Barriers Again?
Team Collier is led by Napheesa Collier – hence the name. About a week or two ago, the teams were drafted by Collier and Catilin Clark. This isn’t a new concept, I think the NHL did this first then the NBA followed suit and the WNBA has done it for a few years, excluding last year where the All-Stars played against Team USA. For Collier, she took Paige Bueckers, Skylar Diggins, Allisha Gray, Kayla McBride, Nneke Ohwumkike, Kelsey Plum, Angel Reese, Breanna Stewart, Alyssa Thomas, and teammate (also half of the Studbudz duo) Courtney Williams. This team has some scorers, including Bueckers who has recently looked more and more comfortable playing in games. She also seems more accepted than Clark was last year, but that’s a different story. We’ve seen a lot of these women in All-Star Games before, and frankly most of them treat this like the exhibition it is. There isn’t much defense, there are a lot of long shots, and jogging up and down the court. It isn’t a knock, most All-Star Games are stupid in sports. Baseball is the only one that seems competitive and that one is only good once every decade.Â
