During their recent magical World Series run, the champion Dodgers had many heroes, but one constant. Whenever they needed a leader, they found one. No matter how dire the circumstances, whenever they needed a hero, somebody stepped up. Yoshinobu Yamamoto won a game on zero day's rest. Will Smith won a game with one hand. Freddie Freeman was an 18th-inning savior on one leg. Kiké Hernández was a ninth-inning savior with a bad elbow.

"I think I agree with everything [Collier] said," said Lexie Hull, the Fever's alternate player rep for the WNBPA, prior to Indiana's winner-take-all Game 5 semifinal matchup against the Las Vegas Aces. "We're at a really important time in the league and changes need to be made, and so you're seeing her talk about that, and really proud of her for making that statement today."
