Top moments from the WNBA All-Star Game
Kendra Andrews: Nothing hits quite as hard as a well-executed Swag Surf, and Chicago nailed it. The best part, though, was the player involvement. Angel Reese in her Barbie pink wig on one end, Courtney Williams showing off her blue hair, and A’ja Wilson hitting the surf and then the “scuba” on the other. The players’ dancing extended beyond this timeout. To start the fourth, Williams stood near center court and busted out what looked like a well-rehearsed dance break before jogging back down the court to play. During halftime, players congregated on the sidelines to watch halftime performer Tyla, bopping and dancing along. This is what All-Star is all about — should the next Friday night contest be a dance-off between the players?!
Katie Barnes: Top moment for me has to be the dunk from Dominique Malonga. Sure, there was some dunk hunting, but it was nothing like the play stoppage at the end that happened back in the day — this was great and in the flow of the game. I only wish she’d thrown it down more or hit one of the alley-oops. I love a good dunk! More dunks!!
Kareem Copeland: On a relaxed evening, four-time MVP Wilson was definitely in chill mode. At one point, she was actively backing away with her hands in the air to allow Reese to get a layup. With Wilson’s length, she still blocked the shot, and she turned away covering her mouth as if to say, ”Whoops!” Later, Wilson talked coach Cheryl Reeve into a coach’s review to determine possession of the ball. During her postgame news conference, she admitted she knew it was off her hand — she just wanted a break.
Alexa Philippou: I wrote earlier this week that this year has often felt like a season of exasperation, not celebration. But after the first half had been so concentrated on continued frustrations (whether it be online harassment toward players, toxic discourse or officiating inconsistencies), this weekend in Chicago felt like a much-needed “vibes” reset. There was much less of a weight hanging over the festivities compared with last All Star, where the CBA negotiations were looming. Let’s hope the good energy carries through to the second half of the season!
Michael Voepel: All-Star Game MVP Jonquel Jones was the No. 6 pick in the 2016 WNBA draft, which in retrospect looks crazy. You can attribute it in part to Jones’ lack of publicity in college, playing first for Clemson and then George Washington. But looking now at her WNBA career — she has won MVP of the season, the Commissioner’s Cup, the WNBA Finals and now the All-Star Game — it’s clear she should have been the No. 2 pick behind current New York Liberty teammate Breanna Stewart. Over the past decade, Jones has proved herself as one of the best players from that draft — and a great player in this league.
