Today, we salute you, Brenda. Pioneers like you and Laura Hughes have shown that the WNBA isn’t the only outlet for young women looking to pursue a career in professional basketball.

Trying to mock LeBron whining and then telling him to shut up and play basketball was a true sign of leadership on your part. I mean, screw leading by example. So what if you were part of a frontcourt that was beat, 51-31, on the boards in Game 4? So what if the rest of your team was amped up for Game 4 and claimed that they wanted to win that game badly to send a message? The game came down to one last shot, anyways, so the minus-20 rebounding deficit couldn’t have made that much of a difference, right?

When you average 7.5 points and 5.9 rebounds a game and then try to play the role of a safety in football in a basketball game, you’re clearly qualified to tell LeBron James to “play basketball.” So what if he’s ended your season in convincing fashion for three straight seasons? He’s the one that needs to focus on just playing basketball, not you! You tell ’em, Brenda!
