My son played with her Brother on a U17 team called “Fundamentally Simple” they played against top teams from across the country. Her brother can really hoop.

Gabby Williams delivered a standout performance in the Paris Olympics women's basketball final, leading France in a closely contested match against Team USA.

Although France narrowly missed out on gold with a 67-66 loss, Williams was the undisputed star, contributing 19 points, seven rebounds, three assists, and three steals.

Her extraordinary effort on the court has sparked widespread admiration and reignited conversations about her potential return to the WNBA.

Williams, who was born in the United States but represents France internationally, showcased her ability to perform under immense pressure.

Her stellar play in the final highlighted not only her scoring prowess but also her versatility and defensive skills.

Fans and analysts alike have taken notice, with many calling for the power forward to make a comeback to the WNBA, where she previously played for the Chicago Sky and Seattle Storm.

Despite her success on the international stage, Williams has faced challenges balancing her commitments between the WNBA and overseas leagues.

The WNBA's prioritization rule, which requires players to prioritize their WNBA commitments over other leagues, has been a point of contention for Williams.

In a previous interview, she expressed her frustration, stating, "I still think the prioritization thing is ridiculous... Something has to give. France needs to have shorter seasons, or the WNBA needs to [allow players] to make money and do both."

The prioritization rule has led to complications for players like Williams, who seek to maintain their careers in both the WNBA and international leagues.

This rule was designed to ensure that WNBA players are available for the entirety of the league's season, but it has also forced some players to make difficult choices about where they can play and when.

It's funny that some people think I rely on AI. They don't realize I've taken courses to improve my vocabulary and articulation skills.

AI is simply an enhanced version of ourselves. If we took the time and tap into our internal greatness, we would be amazed at our abilities.

True leaders understand that character surpasses reputation. Character is who we genuinely are, while reputation is merely what others perceive.

The term "nepotism" is frequently mentioned in discussions about LeBron James and his son, Bronny. This critique seems hypocritical, considering that many black athletes have faced nepotism for decades. For instance, the Lakers' hiring of JJ Redick, who lacks any coaching experience, illustrates nepotism. Let's focus on basketball, not "daddy ball." LeBron James is pioneering a new dynamic in the NBA, and it's exciting to witness....
