Looking ahead to 2028, Los Angeles and the W will be in a much better position, which means Team USA, which is participating as a proxy, will be in a much better position than you might think.
Are you like Cheryl Miller, asking to see the bread?
What will Team USA look like in Los Angeles in 2028?
I expect this rookie class to see it all.
There was some debate about whether or not Kaitlyn should have been there, maybe it was wrong not to have her there, I don’t know what that means, maybe, she could have learned what American basketball is and she could have led them on their next journey.
But she didn’t make it to the team.
So I’d like to see Kaitlyn, and I think Angel Reese, who’s doing fantastic as a rebounder in the NBA right now.
We’ll be watching to see how she develops as an overall player in the W NBA.
I think Cameron Brink will come back from injury and be able to compete in the Olympics.
I want to go to LA in 2028.
Yes, that’s right.
So I think Juju will be a rookie in the W because it’s going to be in LA. That’ll be her rookie season.
So I think A is in line with what I expect from the shareholders. The shareholders will be bigger than all the other girls and will be more marketable over time.
She goes to a heritage school.
She is in Los Angeles.
We’ll be seeing more of her.
Yes, that’s right.
I think she’d be better off joining the team.
