@akiembailum.bsky.socialOne of the names instrumental in the ascent of the #Valkyries has been GM Ohemaa Nyanin.
Two years ago, I interviewed the Valks GM as she was making her cross-country transition from the NY Liberty to GSV.

@akiembailum.bsky.socialAlso today at #BeyondTheW!
It is awesome that the Atlanta Dream got their arena situation for #WNBAFinals worked out.
BUT...
#WNBA needs to be more proactive in the future about fixing these arena issues for playoffs/Finals.

Nneka Ogwumike closes her WNBA career as a 5x Kim Perrot Sportsmanship Award winner, the most in league history, and a back-to-back honoree!
@akiembailum.bsky.socialOne has to wonder if this #WNBAFinals arena snafu with the Atlanta Dream would be handled a lot differently if they were playing…a certain team in Indiana…instead of the Valkyries….
@wnba.comFrom Coach of the Year to Executive of the Year 👏
Congratulations to Cheryl Reeve of the Minnesota Lynx for earning yet another honor in 2026!
Reeve also won the award in 2019 and 2024, joining Atlanta's Executive VP and GM Dan Padover with a record three selections.
