For a player of Gabby's caliber to choose us in just our second year ... means everything. She is world-class. One of the best defenders in the world, an WNBA All-Star, and someone who makes everyone around her better.
Throughout his career, he's actually been exactly average, with a 99 wRC+ that's a few base hits away from reaching triple digits. However, he's fluctuated between a near-All-Star and a light-hitting platoon threat, with no real pattern to follow.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had scored 20 or more points in 124 consecutive games, just two off tying the NBA standard set by former Warrior Wilt Chamberlain in 1963. If one takes a quick flip through the NBA record book, they have a high probability of encountering Chamberlain's name, regardless of which page they land upon.

The Warriors played the game with a skeleton crew. Steph Curry (runner's knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) were both ruled out. The frontcourt got even thinner as Draymond Green was scratched five minutes before tipoff with lower back soreness. Horford took his place and drew the unenviable assignment of guarding Jokic. But riding an electric finish by Brandin Podziemski, the Warriors notched a spirited 128-117 win.
It's 3:30 p.m. on a Monday, and a group of 16 senior dancers are grooving on the court at Chase Center. They throw their arms up and down, give a high kick, bend over low, draw a half circle with their hips, pop up and snap their necks back and forth, their grey and white hair glistening under the giant spotlights usually reserved for Steph Curry and Draymond Green.
