We don't have official WNBA votes and we don't care! Who do we think played the best ball this year? We break it all down along with a special treat for our paid subscribers as well!
can see the argument for Reese on the 3rd team (or even 2nd team) All-W team, I think it’s a farce to put her 5th in MVP. Frankly, it reeks of attention-seeking or contrarianism — or Andrew is just desperate to be able to clown on the Sky org more. Generally I agree we should all clown on that org at every chance but I’m not elevating a good but not yet great player above players who had just as good of seasons and certainly more impactful seasons for teams that actually matter.
If you had a real vote you’d never vote this way (publicly) and you know it. You’re just looking for something to write about, it seems.
To be clear - I do hope someone with NCS gets a real vote some day and that it’s deployed thoughtfully as these votes can have real impact on players’ legacies (and maybe their contracts moving forward). I think Reese is a very good player who had a very good year but putting her 5th is insane and I won’t be reading your justification.
Andrew’s MVP ballot is quite interesting 👀 Not sure if you have addressed this, but since you included it, do you think the league should include a 3rd Team All-W? Isn’t too much considering the number of players?
We’ve always done a third team to help with the 2nd team ballot counting as well as just having an additional list. I don’t think the W should do it yet but it’s coming soon IMO.
As for MVP, I have a legit argument for this and we’ll discuss!!

I promise it’ll make sense when I explain my full reasoning behind the MVP picks. It’s ideologically consistent even if it’s not agreeable lol
Yeah sorry but something can be ideologically consistent and completely wrong still.
100% and I knew that but I can guarantee it isn’t to be solely a contrarian haha

Fiebich started every game this season! Were you maybe looking at last year's stats?
Amazingly a groupthink in action. All of us didn’t have a 5th and put Fiebich in out of reflex! 😅😅 great catch by you and Lucy!
Phee third for MVP is CRAZY
Andrew with 3rd in MVP and DPOY for Phee 👀👀👀. Lemme catch up on the pods to see if this was addressed
Yup, it's a hot take but I have a good argument for it. Will be breaking it all down on the pod!
You picked Angel Reese for 3rd team All-WNBA over Aliyah Boston? That's preposterous.
Went back to check and we have AB as 2nd Team All-WNBA over Angel on 3rd!
