Sure, part of why I admire Kara Lawson is because she happens to be our coach at Duke University, and we have season tickets 🎟 to their games. Side note 📝, a person can purchase two season tickets to those games for roughly the same amount of money 💰 that it costs to get 1 ticket for a Men’s game in Cameron Indoor Stadium. But that’s a different kind of story.

Not only did the Ladies version of Coach K get the job done in Berlin, but she did so with one hand tied behind her back.

Aja Wilson is the best player on the planet right now, and she wasn’t able to accompany the team due to wear and tear.

Then you need to add that my personal favorite female hoopster of All-Time, Kelsey Plum, also had to be replaced on the roster due to trying to play through a calf injury. See, Plum respects the game so much that she came back too soon for Phoenix after being traded there despite the fact that the team had been eliminated from the post-season already.

Plum was leading the WNBA in scoring in June while still with the Los Angeles Sparks. Who took the top spot when Plum went down ? Yeah, Miss Wilson !

Coach took her team, make that our team, and represented our country with style and grace. But that didn’t prevent folks from unloading on her every step of the way.

My question is, why ???? The answer is that coverage like this comes from people who want to look smart and make a name for themselves at the expense of others. It is sad, just sad 😔.

This is one of many reasons why I don’t attach my name to ANYTHING that I create. I am not looking to get rich or be what they call an ” influencer.” Just out here pedaling the thought of kindness and equality.

While this photo 📸 has zip to do with this story or my affection for Women’s Basketball, it still makes me smile 😃

Thank you, Kara, and get better soon to the dynamic duo that had to stay here in the States.

The remaining question is if Kara Lawson is my favorite Women’s Basketball coach, who else makes that list ???

Kris Richardson edges out that guy from UConn, and being that, he will send me his Motovational Nugget for the Day shortly, Howard Mayo sneaks in at #4, just ahead of Pierre Curtis down at Furman University.

Vickey Ritchie is in an entirely different category because she coaches both men and women !
