\u201cWe\u2019re the number one team,\u201d Williams said before the game. \u201cEvery team that I have seen damn near in the last three, four, five years, if they are the number one team they got at least three players, sometimes four (on the All-Star team).<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t understand how people are ignoring that.\u201d<\/p>\n
McBride appreciates how her teammates and coaches advocated for her, pointing out that it is reflective of the vibe and camaraderie that has been established during her five seasons with the Lynx.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really special,\u201d McBride, 33, said. \u201cAs you get older, they get a little bit more special, because you never know how many you\u2019re going to get. When you\u2019re 23 you don\u2019t think like, \u2018Oh, this might be my last one,\u2019 you know? But when you\u2019re 33 you do. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo I am just really fortunate, and I just have a lot of love for this organization, for (Reeve) believing in me, and so to be able to do it alongside them, it\u2019s really, really special for me, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her relationship with Miller is an example of her buy-in. Miller has had a bumpy road since being drafted by the team in 2023 battling a knee injury and fighting for playing time. On Wednesday, she played in her 21st game, matching her total from all of last season. McBride has been a resource for Miller throughout her still-early career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cWe\u2019re the number one team,\u201d Williams said before the game. \u201cEvery team that I have seen damn near…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":67931,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[62,67,132,68,232],"class_list":{"0":"post-80365","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-united-states","10":"tag-unitedstates","11":"tag-us","12":"tag-wnba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114890747712511895","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80365"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80365\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67931"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
