Yeah, I think that experience goes a long way. Another advantage they'll have is continuity. But I am concerned, because so many teams in the WNBA loaded up on talent. And so obviously, they have Nafisa Kalia coming back when you have someone who's in the running for it. She was so dominant in unrivaled play that it had us saying, is Fi the best player in the world, like right now?

And I mean, she really, her dominance on both ends of the court, her high skill, her movement without the ball, her motor, her IQ, her screening for others. I mean, it's just a beautiful game to watch. So you have a good starting point there. My concern is, Is there more that you can squeeze out of an Alana Smith, out of a Courtney Williams, out of Kayla McBride?

These are all players who really found a home and have had a renaissance moment last season with the Lynx. Do they continue to have more? Is it enough? Or have they hit a ceiling? Bridget Carlton, oh, she did really well with all of her extra opportunity and minutes. But now everybody knows she's trying to hit that big shot. So I am concerned about that.

But I think to your point, Mo, like the experience and the continuity goes a long way. I'm going to shout out one more person. Could Alyssa Peely have a bigger role this season? I was actually in Nashville at Athletes Unlimited. And I saw Coach Reeve there. And she came there to watch her play. And I think she's hopeful for her to step up and have more opportunity.

Here's my take on the Aces. I think the Aces are going to be better than they were last season. It was a down season for them. We'll start with the reigning MVP. Asia Wilson is rested. She didn't play unrivaled. She used the offseason to work out, to launch her signature sneaker, to hard launch her relationship and love. And I think that's gonna be important for her.

You know, there's a lot of wear and tear. Don't forget players like herself and much of the Aces starting lineup, they were all in the Olympics too. Like it was just like, go, go, go, go, go. They played for straight through the past couple of years. Plus their last seasons have been long. Remember they played through championship runs. And so it's just, it's a lot of wear and tear on the body.

I was at Unrivaled. I saw Chelsea Gray with my own eyes. That's enough for me to say the Aces is about to be good. Because Chelsea was healthy and rejuvenated in unrivaled play. And we could see how much, when she's healthy, she dominates the game and controls everything that's happening for everyone else. And a large part of why the Aces struggled a bit last season, Chelsea wasn't healthy.
