This was our Women’s Empowerment Broadcast!!!! 🥲

(This was a thought on the verge of the Finals, where they have a chance to win a championship)

Let me say something: It’s great Joe Lacob proclaimed the Valkyries would win a championship within five years. Belief and investment are important. But *the work* belongs to Jess Smith, Ohemaa Nyanin, Natalie Nakase and the players. Building everything from new, each day, together with trust.

Came to GSV and became a starter. Learned her role. Came up big.

Her mom wanted to name her Kiah !!!!!!! Stokes but symbols aren’t allowed on a birth cert.

Sweeping the defending champs 😮

There was a stat I heard in passing that Stokes is tied with Rodman for the most zero-point, double-digit rebounds playoff games in basketball history…*something* like that, I wish I was fully concentrating when I heard it so don’t quote me.

There are cameras everywhere at arenas and phones. Where’s the video, because someone made a mistake…

Kiah Stokes Kiah Stokes Kiah Stokes Let me tell how the player who has scored zero points in two playoff games is THE X-factor with her rebounding and defense.

Only pregame for now on KPIX, but probably pre and post for the Finals. Assuming the Valks make it. And it’s looking good.

Gabby Wiliams made one three-pointer her entire UConn career. (Attemped seven, I believe?)

It seems Tip Hayes wants a championship.

Natalie Nakase added the team didn’t do much at practice, being down 16 and coming back in game one “took a toll” and she said “you saw what happened to me,” referencing her fourth quarter collapse on the court.

Natalie Nakase spoke about being exhausted and needing a day of sleep in between games 1 and 2 of the series with the Aces.

I slept a lot. Just being fully candid, like I've been exhausted, and I'm not afraid to to say that I needed a day, you know, and so my team, my staff, they met on their own without me, and they let me know in terms of the edits and the notes and everything, and I hit them later. But I just needed a day. I was so exhausted, so just super grateful to have a staff that like can function on their own.

Home today for reasons and I’m watching Valks-Aces with the fam. My three year old said “that was a swish!” and he knows who Gabby Williams is so I’m feeling excellent as a parent.

Kasib Powell stands in for Natalie Nakase at the postgame podium. Says “she’s fine” and she will coach on Sunday.

The other side of the night. The Wings won 17 more games than last season and put up a helluva fight.

That Valks-Wings game was one of the best I’ve seen in person in a long career. Ballhalla made a difference.

Kiah Stokes block leads to a VB lay up for the lead. About five mins left to play, loser goes home. Ballahalla is wiiiiild!

Kerith Burke @kerithburke.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Wings start the third quarter with a 9-0 run. Valks 0-9, 0-6 during first four mins of the half. Precarious here at Ballhalla and fans are trying to rally the team.

Big news for Gabby Wiliams ahead of Game 3: She’s the French Federation’s Player of the Year, winner of the Alain Gilles Trophy for the second time in her career.

Gabby Williams, French Basketball Player of the Year.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

How many people stood over Reacher while he laid on the street in the rain? Missing ear guy, knife lady, then his friends? Just bleeding out
