there’s another VIVID example in the WNBA this season of a White athlete getting screwed for the usual reasons.
Jessica Shepard, a post player for the Dallas Wings, was stuck coming off the bench for nearly all of her 5 seasons in Minnesota. but now with a new team, she’s finally getting a real opportunity to be an impact player. the result? she’s leading the league in rebounding, is averaging nearly 15 points per game and over 5 assists per contest, and she is gonna be a starter in the league’s All Star game.
last night she had a triple double (18, 15, and 10 assists). she’s looking like the women’s version of Jokic … but for 5 years in Minnesota she was an afterthought. “weird,” huh?
