Patty's Players Volume 7
It’s time for volume SEVEN of Patty’s players, and we are in FULL swing BABY.
The weird lull time in sports has come and gone. This past week and weekend we have seen MANY things. A once in a lifetime player on her last run as she announced her retirement, college athletes going absolutely bonkers, fun plays, great stats. There were so many people to choose from this week.
First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge Serena Williams and what her career has meant not only to the sport of Tennis, but also to the entire world. A generational athlete such as Serena is so rare, and so life changing, that you may never see another like it in our lifetime.
With that being said, Serena DID NOT make it as my selection this week. No, not by a long shot.
This week, I take a dip back into the waters of the WNBA. We all know I have a special spot for this league, and think their players deserve a bit more shine that they get on a regular basis. Even knowing this bias, it is HARD to deny the greatness of the performance we saw this week from one player in particular. My player comes from an overtime playoff thriller where the lead changed 3 times in the last six seconds of regulation.
Without further ado, I give you Patty’s Player of the Week this week: A’Ja Wilson.
A’Ja Wilson is out here doing things that have simply NEVER BEEN DONE in the world of the WNBA. Not only did she drop 34 points on 11 rebounds, while shooting 70% from the field, but she also hit the go ahead bucket for her Aces with 2 seconds left on the clock, which at the time looked like the game winner. If you missed her performance, or this game in general, you missed out on a good one. (Chelsea Green also put in the performance of a lifetime, but I can only choose one here)
