Zena, Ben, and Sabreena break down a big weekend of games in the WNBA – highlighting the Aces big win over the Fever, the Storm’s victory over an injury-laden Liberty, and the Valkyries’ hot streak. They also check in on the Sabreena Scale, which has a new top team this week. Then, the crew digs into our deep dive for the week – the dominance of the power forward position in the WNBA. When did this position rise to such importance? How has it evolved? And will it continue to hold the same value on the court? Plus, a game about sporting siblings. _________________Visit our YouTube page!_________________References:WNBA power rankings: What’s behind the Golden State Valkyries’ surge? by Sabreena MerchantWNBA files trademarks for the name ‘Portland Fire’ and stylized ‘P’ logo by Sabreena MerchantNaLyssa Smith and DiJonai Carrington on the Power Forward in the WNBA via TikTok @itscwaysworldesq_________________Get in touch!
