The game, a true best-on-best matchup, was a long time coming. The league itself came together in a six-month sprint.

You might be thinking about some new years resolutions. I've got one for ya: Become a more informed women's hoops fan.

We've covered women's hoops from Las Vegas to Schio, Italy to Dallas. I'll link some of my favorite pieces in the thread, but subscribe!

Luis is right and has all the info on the most unusual EuroCup game. I don't think I've ever seen something like this before in a pro game...You can rewatch it all here: youtube.com/watch?v=zqak0w……

London basically played 5-on-4 throughout their blowout win.

How does Caitlin Clark compare to some of 🏀's all-time great shooters?

I combed through data to see how her shooting from 25-30 feet, early shot-clock 3s and 4 other metrics stacked up with Steph, Dame & SAB. Great visuals + reporting on CC's practices:

From The Athletic: Caitlin Clark is perhaps the biggest star across both men’s and women’s college basketball. Her shooting numbers already compare favorably to NBA greats like Stephen Curry, our columnist writes. nyti.ms/47hieTu

Zion Williamson's max extension with the Pelicans is more complex than previously known. The last 3 years of his deal are no longer guaranteed and it gives Pelicans significant injury protections. It also has ways for Williamson to earn back the guarantees theathletic.com/4913537/2023/1…

Caitlin Clark is one of the best shooters we’ve ever seen in college basketball. But how does she compare to some of the best pros (men and women)?
