Olivia Miles sets Lynx rookie scoring record in 104-100 win
A really big problem for the CC industrial complex is that people can just watch Olivia Miles and Paige Bueckers games. They are also on TV.
As a kid who wore Rec Specs, I wonder if my basketball dreams would have been better realized if my model for playing was a point guard like Olivia Miles and not a bruising forward like Horace Grant.
Forced to have Chris Sabo and Horace Grant as my athletic heroes, until I got contact lenses.
I had these as a child for sports. Once I lost my regular eyeglasses (much to the incredible irritation of my parents) who informed me that I would just wear the Chris Sabo goggles to school until I was able to find my glasses. I had to wear them to school for two weeks. I have never forgiven them.
My nickname from middle school to high school was “Rambis” for this very reason.
Oh! That’s probably why my soccer dreams were never fully realized! I just needed a different Rec Specs role model than Horace Grant.
What you needed was a role model with oversized hair
It’d be a lot goggles if you did.
Kayla McBride + Olivia Miles vs PHX 70 PTS | 21/33 FG | 11/19 3P
After a slower start to the season Kayla McBride has been truly incredible of late. 28.3 PPG over her last four games on 53.2% from the field and 51.2% from three w/ 4.2 3PM per game. Took the All-Star snub seriously.
Holy shit lmao this is absurd
If you are not at Target Center this summer, what are you even doing with your life!?
olivia miles was created in a laboratory to make the sport of basketball as fun as possible
and delivered to minnesota by the basketball goddess as sort of a lifetime achievement award for cheryl reeve
She really was, and I’m so damn grateful she’s a Lynx!
Fudd maybe Trae to Olivia’s Luca
And WE get to see it from the beginning!
I put on the Lynx for like 2 minutes and Olivia Miles did like 4 ridiculously fun passes for assists (I don't know your bball words). God they're fun.
"Ridiculously fun pass" is a 100% acceptable basketball term. If you had watched a different two-minute stretch, you could have seen Miles make three "soul-crushing three-pointers" in a row. 🏀🏀🏀
Took my girls tonight. The 5 year oldest first game Only took 2 minutes for her to learn to make goggles when Olivia scores
dime: /daɪm/ — a pinpoint, crisp pass that is precise, with a little sauce, and directly leads to a teammate's basket. (She is unbelievably fun to watch.)
Her doing all this as a rookie is just NUTS
Fabulous player. Tremendous new cover of Slam, too.
