one interesting thing about watching the wnba is that unlike in the nba, they don't shout "NBA!!!" before taking a shot. they just shoot it

I remember back when everybody would shout "Kobe!" before throwing something. No clue who he was, but he must've been a bad thrower because the person shouting his name would miss almost every time.

There is an official rules change coming soon. Players are going to be required to shout “skibbadi!!!” instead.

there's a small subset of people here who are driven mad whenever they aren't allowed to quote or reply to something. they think everything they see on their phone is their property and they just short-circuit. they'll bust through the floorboards to yell at you. it's really something to see

Stupid @stup0r.bsky.social

I see your point but I think it would be pretty bizarre if NBA players shouted "WNBA" before taking a shot. You gotta at least appreciate that they know what league they play for
