After the Bucks won it all, Lasry sold his ownership in them as well. He bought for $550M and sold for $3.5B. That's a higher profit margin than Koan made selling his Corsair. So what's Marc investing in next? Women's sports. That's where the money is going these days in general btw... including my latest venture. Just as they say to take the emotion out of stock investing, the same applies to sports.

Tonight should be interestng between the Fever and Aces.

The Fever is maturing.

I think the Fever are liking the feeling of being bad asses, and are going to play serious ball, and be willing to give up personal glory for team glory i.e. train and play hard.

And all of them are learning they need to use Clark's gravity to get clear shots.

Give the ball to Clark and pass to a better opportunity.

So through all the clatter of the internet, I think Christy Sides sat Kelsey Mitchel down for almost the entire first half of the last game because she wanted to run around the court driblbing until she could shoot, and would not pass to Clark.

So Sides sat her down after 6 minutes, and after the half she started playing a team game and they won.

The ball has to go to Clark to use her gravity to get the other players free, and then she can pass or shoot.

Gloop will make the Olympic team when they bring back the Tug of War. He is a shoe in for the anchor position.

So Clark makes the first rookie triple double in WNBA history, out of 1,000 rookies before her, and two days ago missed another one by just one rebound, and a few days before that came close again.

I think this should put to rest whether she is the goat or not.

And I hope they give Sheryl Reeves hell for keeping Clark off the olympic team because she just didn't like her.

Maybe the dumbest move in sporting history.

The entire world wants to see her play in the olympics, and could care less about the rest of the WNBA, and they are denied this because of a few people playing favorites when selecting the team.

Not one player under 26.

Arika Oganbowale who withdrew her name said it best:" I withdrew my name because the selection is political."

Clark is easily the best point guard in the WNBA.

No one else can see the court and pass like her.

Clark is revolutionizing the WNBA game.

I think Caitlin Clark has been showing her team how to play a better game of passing and shoot versus dribbling and shoot.

She had a lot of turnovers primarily because here team did not understand her passing strategy.

But she kept it up, despite the comments about her making so many turnovers, and over time the turnovers diminished and their game got stronger.

The players have learned to play fast, get in the clear and she will find them. This strategy is how they beat the Liberty. It is hard to defend a fast game like that.

And the players on her team have found out it improves their game with more baskets e.g. A Boston. She is running the court much faster and making one basket after another.

In fact those two are learning to mind meld-lol, and Boston is killing it. And with the other three also running fast it takes the pressure of off both AB and CC.

And they are getting better and better at getting in the clear and catching her passes.

Clark is revolutionizing the WNBA game.

With that and her stats, how can anyone thing Angel Reese should get rookie of the year.

Reese is just a good one dimensional average WNBA player.

The Fever have become a force to be reckoned with.

The fever have become a band of Warriors, led by Clark.

Led by Swan in the movie.

As Swan said in the movie after having a rival gang member demand one of their vests to walk though, " fuck you", and to his gang, we are going to walk right through these lame fuck's territory"-lol

And the Fever like it, being the tough guys people respect.

People have been disrespecting the Fever for a long time, and the veterans the rookies, but those days are over.

Clark is passing so many balls to Boston she is killing it, and Clark and Boston have so much gravity, Mitchell has the space to maximize her shooting skills, and Smth is left alone, and too good for that.

The Fever have become contenders :)!

I think they see themselves as bad asses, and like it.

So on Saturday, the WNBA all star players not selected to olympics will play against the olympic team.

I think the all stars have a good chance of beating the olympic team!
