A'ja Wilson and Sabrina Ionescu are named the WNBA players of the week

MVP Periodt and the Queen of Brooklyn are making WNBA headlines.

of the Las Vegas Aces and Sabrina Ionescu of the New York Liberty have certainly left their mark, both on and off the court. Once rivals in the 2023 WNBA Finals, they have been named Eastern and Western Conference players of the week.

Ionescu has a signature shoe with Nike and debuted the Sabrina 2s last month. Coincidentally, around the same time, Wilson announced her own shoe, the Nike A'One. Set to debut in 2025, Wilson joins Ionescu as one of three active WNBA players with their own signature shoe.

Less than two months into the season Wilson and Ionescu are having significant impacts on their team's overall performance.

Although Wilson is a two-time WNBA Champion, MVP, and defensive player of the year, she simply still hasn't forgotten that one fourth-place MVP voter. Rightfully so, she continues to clap back at the doubters through her performance on the hardwood.

The current favorite to win the WNBA MVP, Wilson averaged 28.5 points, 12 rebounds, and three assists last week from May 27 to June 2. In addition, the former Gamecock was named Western Conference Player of the Month for a historic ninth time and fourth in a row. The streak leader is Tina Charles, who currently plays for the Atlanta Dream.

A'ja Wilson is once again performing at an MVP level

Off to a blistering start, the Aces star added eight blocks and three steals in both matchups against the Atlanta Dream and Minnesota Lynx.

4-2 on the season, Becky Hammon and the Aces suffered a rare 78-74 against the Dream on the road. However, how can we forget Wilson's unforgettable block on good friend Allisha Gray? It may not have traveled into the concession stand but was a statement block.

On pace for another historical season, Wilson started off the season with five straight double-doubles, owning the longest streak of 20+ points and 10+ rebounds in WNBA history. The league leader in blocks with 12.4, Wilson boasted 29 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, two steals, and four blocks against the Lynx. And a few days later, she put up 28 points, three assists, one steal, and four blocks against the Dream. Over the two games, Wilson shot 46.1 percent from the field.

Earning the weekly award for the 17th time in her career, Wilson has elevated her game significantly. Through six games into the 2024 season, the Aces star is averaging career-highs in points (26.5), rebounds (12.5), and blocks (2.8). Leading the league in player-estimated impact, Wilson is already poised as one of the all-time greats ever to grace the game.

Ionescu, now in her fifth season with the New York Liberty, was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the sixth time in her career. With an 8-2 record on the season, the former Oregon Duck led the Liberty to three consecutive victories over the Phoenix Mercury, Washington Mystics, and Indiana Fever. In that week span, Ionescu averaged 20.7 points, six assists, and 4.3 rebounds per game.?Additionally, she shot an impressive 42.6 percent from long range.

The leader in three-pointers last season, the guard has now tied the New York Liberty record for most consecutive games with at least one three-pointer(35 games). While we know Ionescu as a sharpshooter, her interior presence has been well documented. Stating she's worked on her game tremendously this past offseason, we are witnessing an increased presence of floaters and inside attacks.

Sabrina Ionescu's game has evolved beyond the three-point shot

Nearly 21 percent (31) of Ionescu's 146 field goal attempts have been delivered as driving layups and floating bank shots. Compare this to last year, where she only attempted 17 floater shots. More confident than ever, the California native averages the most points since her rookie season, with 17.9 points per game. Given she only played three games in her first season, it's a testament to the dedication, growth, and evolution of her game.

Ionescu started off the week with a game-high 22 points, six rebounds, and nine assists against the Phoenix Mercury at home. According to Liberty PR, ?Ionescu became the first player in franchise history to record double-digit points with at least five assists in a single quarter (10 points and five assists).

Just a few days later, No. 20 poured in 24 points, one rebound, three assists, on 50 percent three-point shooting against Washington at the Barclays. To end the week, the former Oregon star put up 16 points, six rebounds, and six assists in front of 17,000+ fans against the Indiana Fever.

The Las Vegas Aces (4-2) are set to match up against the Dallas Wings, Seattle Storm, and Los Angeles Sparks this week. The New York Liberty defeated the Chicago Sky 88-75 on Tuesday night, and will matchup with Atlanta, Connecticut, and Washington later this week.

The NBA season is officially over,?and the?BIG3 professional basketball league has begun its 6th season. The Season will run from June 18th util August 7th, followed by two weeks of postseason basketball. In this article, we will break down all the odds for the BIG3 futures, and who has the lowest and highest odds of winning a championship. To watch the BIG3 games this season, they are broadcasted on DAZN, the VYRE Network, BIG3 YouTube channel, CBS, and Paramount+. If you are looking for the best betting odds and stats, here is information to know:

What is the BIG3 League?

The BIG3 is a 3 on 3 Professional Basketball League founded by executive Jeff Kwatinetz and Musician Ice Cube. Stated earlier, it’s a short season, with 2 weeks of post season basketball. In addition, the league consists of NBA players who are either past NBA Champions, past All-Stars, and those who have years of experience in the NBA and international/college basketball. In addition, the rules of the BIG3 are different from the NBA and standard 3 on 3 basketball. Furthermore, the league consists of 12 teams, and the headquarters are in Los Angeles, California.

Clyde Dexter is the Commissioner, who played 15 years of professional basketball in the NBA. Also, the head coaches of the 12 teams are comprised of men and women, who are past basketball stars. The coaches include Michael Cooper, Reggie Theus, Rich Mahorn, Rick Barry, Gary Payton, Gilbert Arenas, George Gervin, Charles Oakley, Nancy Lieberman, Stephen Jackson, Julius Erving, and Lisa Leslie.

It’s important to note the BIG3 follows the Fireballl3 rules, rather than FIBA 3-3 rules. This includes four-point shots, something that the NBA does not have. In addition, the teams will play in Chicago, Illinois week 1, Dallas Texas week 2, New York, New York week 3, Memphis, Tennessee week 4, Boston, Massachusetts week 5, Charlotte, North Carolina Week 6, and Detroit Michigan, week 7. The teams included in the league are the 3 Headed Monsters, 3’s Company, Aliens, Ball Hogs, Bivouac, Enemies, Ghost Ballers, Killer 3s, Power, Tri State, Trilogy, and Triplets.

2023 BIG3 Schedule

Week 1: June 25, Chicago
Week 2: July 1, Dallas
Week 3: July 9, New York
Week 4: July 15, Memphis
Week 5: July 23, Miami
Week 6: July 30, Boston

Week 8: August 13, Detroit
Playoffs: August 19, Washington D.C.
Championship: August 26, London, UK

Favored Teams:

Trilogy +400

Trilogy currently has the least odds to win the 2023 BIG3 Championship. In fact, since the beginning of the league in 2017, Trilogy has won 3 Championships, including the inaugural season, and the past two seasons. Trilogy’s co-captains include Earl Clark, in addition to Amir Johnson, who played 14 seasons in the NBA. Other players include David Hawkins, Isaiah Briscoe, and James White.

All 5 of their players have a combined 24 NBA seasons under their belt, and both Earl Clark and Isaiah Briscoe are both averaging points in double-digits. Between the two of them, both players are shooting .500 and above from the three.? Although it’s early in the season, Trilogy has decent size between Johnson, Clark, and White. Briscoe played one season in the NBA, however he’s a shot creator and has nasty ball handling moves. The Trilogy won their week 1 matchup and defended their title against the Enemies 52-46. In fact, Earl Clark sealed the deal with the game winning shot, and added 25 points.

3 Headed Monsters +500

The 3 Headed Monsters, coached by Reggie Theus, are led by long time players Rashad Lewis and Reggie Evans. Rashad Lewis played 16 seasons and is an NBA Champion. Standing at 6 foot 10, Lewis was an incredible three-point shooter in the NBA and was part of the 2013 Miami Heat championship team.

Although this team has been decent since the start of the BIG3, they’ve never been able to win a championship. Reggie Evans is back from injury and averaged a triple double in their week 1 loss against Power. Between the two of them, and Kevin Murphy, they have the size to compete against other teams. The team added Jordan Adams and Robert Dozier in the draft, however, it will be interesting who can guard the 1, especially in iso situations.

Long shot: 3’s Company +900

3’s Company took a week one loss 50-47 against the Ghost Ballers. However, in this year’s draft they picked Hollis Thompson in the first round, who had an underwhelming first game. Michael Beasley was an NBA player for 11 seasons and was the former #2 overall pick. Standing at 6 foot 9, Beasley can play all positions, something that didn’t work so much in the NBA. In fact, he scored 21 points, grabbed 10 boards, and had 1 steal in week one against the Ghost Ballers. In addition, I love the addition of Mario Chalmers to Beasley, who was a 2-time NBA champion in 9 seasons. I can’t forget what Chalmers did in the 2008 NCAA championship, and with the addition of Brandon Rush, I think the 3’s have a shot of being decent this season.

Keep an eye out for: Bivouac +1100

Bivouac had an impressive week on win against the Triplets 51-47.? Gary Payton is the coach of this team and is believed to be one of the best point guards in NBA history.? This year, they selected Ryan Hollins, and Shannon Shorter in the 2 rounds of the 2023 BIG3 Draft.? Although Shorter didn't have a role in week 1, Ryan Hollins contributed with 7 points in 8 rebounds.? In addition, this team is led by former NBA Player, Gerald Green, who has 12 years of experience.? Green is a versatile player, who can respectfully shoot the 3 and is known for his dunks.? Furthermore, Garlon Green is a Co-Captain, and was a former international player.? He also scored 15 points, grabbed 4 rebounds, and can shoot from long range as well.? Corey Brewer, a former NBA Champion, is?an absolute beast on the defensive end of the court.? This team may lack a true point guard; however, they are fun to watch.??
