Phee = ROY
Translation?
Minnesota Lynx Napheesa Collier was named Rookie of the Year in the WNBA, after stepping up to lead the team when veterans Maya Moore, Seimone Augustus, Rebekkah Brunson and even Cecilia Zandalasini were unavailable to play this season.
Collier finished the season as only the fourth different player in league history to amass over 400 points, 200 rebounds, 75 assists, 50 steals, 25 blocks and 25 3-pointers in a single season. The other three are Tamika Catchings (seven times), Maya Moore (3 times) and Sheryl Swoopes.Tonight, the Lynx need to get past the reigning champs Seattle Storm in Seattle to move past the first-round single-game elimination playoff. Go Lynx!

“We have an extremely talented class spread across the board with so many great players,” Collier said. “You saw that in the drafts, no one knew where everyone was going and everyone was really good. I’m proud of the rookie class and what we’ve accomplished.”
Update: 84 - 74. Storm wins, Lynx season ends. Maybe next year Collier and Moore will play together, if the religious sabbatical ends, the collective bargaining agreements are signed before the season is disrupted, and the will to win is present in so many aging hearts. You gotta want it to go get it. Nobody can gift it to you.
