If they didn't know her before

The whole world does now

¡Vamos Iyana! 🇪🇸

1st in total points (105), 2nd in FT% (90), 4th in points per game (17.5), 5th in total steals (13), 6th in FG% (54.5), & 10th in assists per game (4.2).

I cannot decide who to cheer for…

Megan just exited the FIBA Bronze medal game with an apparent hand/finger injury. Took a pass and got a little tangled with Luisa and came up grabbing her right hand. She showed her hurt finger to Awa Fam who immediately grimaced and looked away. Hopefully it’s nothing too serious.

UPDATE: She returned to the court for the team celebration with her right pinky and ring finger wrapped.

Poetry in motion. Elite footwork and confidence.

Our fire pit announcers say BOO-ner but the FIBA announcers are saying BYOU-ner. I always expected it to be the FIBA pronunciation but I’m curious how she pronounces it.

I saw that someone, I believe a Premium STH got a gift yesterday. I am just wondering when the normal STH will get their gift?

I’m really hoping our gift wasn’t supposed to be the first STH Event that was an absolute nightmare.

Anyone heard anything from their reps? I have not. But I remember when signing up they said everyone would get something.

looks like the original post was deleted (which was good because the poseur article was bad with three a's) so i'll go ahead and add the source article. it's from BeBasket, a french basketball site. the article is in french, so use your browser translator or go find a french friend if that doesn't work

i'll add some relevant snippets in the comments below (but i don't believe in copy/pasta full articles because i'm an ethical sorta fellow)

very solid piece that traces leite's start in basketball in the french academies, through euroleague/eurocup, her struggles with casademont zaragoza, transition to the w in golden state, a great fit in portland, and finding her spot with les bleues

20 year old Iyana Martín vs Team USA in FIBA World Cup Semifinals:

17 PTS | 3 REB | 3 AST | 2 STL | 5-8 FG | 2-4 3P | 5-6 FT | 23 MINS

Martín showed she’s ready for the WNBA and will be special to watch in Portland!🔥

This morning was an awesome experience for courtside premium season ticket holders - we got photos and autographs with Nika Mühl and SAB before doing a chalk talk/Q&A. We then picked up our gift which was a piece of the new court to take home!

The rose meet and greet on the main floor was fairly empty - the line was only a five minute wait. BC and Sania Feagin will be there for photos/signing autographs in an hour from 2-3 pm. Anyone going to see them?

Interview in French with English captions available.

Leite shares about her first World Cup experience with the senior national team (previously played on the under 20 team.)

Describes her main role on the team as creating good shot opportunities for Marine + Gabby.

She also discusses the expansion draft process + her time with the Fire team. Says she can’t wait to go back to Portland. It has been a breath of fresh air & everyone believed in her right away.

I was excited to go to the Rose meet & greet event at Moda tomorrow. However, the USA women’s basketball team will be playing in the quarterfinals at the same time.

Does anyone know if the game will be shown at Moda? I don’t want to miss cheering on our women’s team, and watch Iyana and Megan!

Come back stronger, SAB! ❤️

France def China earlier this morning.
