Biggest championship parade in WNBA history…
Most championship merch sales in WNBA history…
Most-watched playoff game in WNBA history…
Already the most valuable team in WNBA history…
This Valkyries title is REALLY good for the league.
So…
- Dream fans only see Dream/Angel content on their feed
- Nothing shows up about Valks title
- They assume no one cares about Valks title
- They criticize Valks fans as a way to cope
For anyone studying algorithms, this is a PRIME case study on how it influences thought
Narrator: The trade will not, in fact, go down as the worst in Valkyries’ history.
Not using a single 2026 draft pick and instead bringing back Kaitlyn Chen was a light years ahead type of move
Won them a chip.
🏆🏆
16-1* when Angel Reese makes a 3
*the 1 being Game 7 of the WNBA Finals with a championship on the line
Gabby Williams just delivered an all-time great Bay Area sports performance in a championship.
Steph. Montana. Young. Bumgarner…
Gabby.
The Valkyries started as a team full of rejects. They defied all odds and made the playoffs last year.
Then they added Gabby Williams.
And went right on to win the championship in her first year with them.
Legendary. 🏆
I’ve been a sports fan my whole life
I’ve seen titles. I’ve seen heartbreak
Tomorrow could go either way. Valks and Dream are both legit
We don’t control result. So don’t let it control your mental health
There are bigger things in life, win or lose. Just a friendly reminder
Okay so the league wants a Game 7 and to not end it at 11am PT
That’s understandable.
Also obvious from some of these calls
If the Valkyries lose, coach goes deep into film prep, and the players move on to the next one.
If the Dream lose, players and fans blame refs, cheating, and racism.
Regardless of who wins the series, this is a model lesson in how to respond to losses… and how not to.
The Valkyries…
- are in their 2nd year
- started with players nobody wanted
- broke WNBA attendance records
- sold out every game in franchise history
- are worth $1B and most valuable team in the W
If you add “champs” to that list, Disney would buy the rights on the spot.
This is why the Dream were complaining about the whistle when they lose
They know they get a favorable whistle. They expect it. They expect to have a massive advantage from the start and they feel off when they don’t.
Because this is a historic discrepancy in FTA.
This tweet is right but it’s the opposite
The Valks are the ones full of dawgs and straight heart
Meanwhile, the Dream get a favorable whistle, have the DPOY and had another All-Star join them last month. They the prestige suburban school fr
The Valkyries and Dream in the Finals should show the rest of the WNBA that you need to build around defense.
Crazy scoring will sell tickets.
Defense wins championships.
At the end of a tight Game 2, broadcasters kept saying:
“The Aces have been here before. They know how to win these games.”
Valkyries won.
At the end of a tight Game 3, broadcasters said the same.
Valkyries won.
This Valks defense is different.
#Finalsbound
The end of Valkyries-Aces was high octane drama
And the Valks have one of the best fan bases and biggest markets in the WNBA
So why did the game get relegated to Peacock?
Maybe expansion teams are Temi’s destiny
She helped the Valkyries. Now she’ll help the Tempo
Maybe in 2 years she goes to Detroit’s new team. Perhaps her trajectory is to be the foundational center of an expansion team on the rise.
Honestly? That’s not a bad job.
