Though the NBA season has come to an end, hoop fans still have a chance to watch some high-level basketball. As the WNBA season approaches its midpoint, the intensity is bubbling. Yesterday’s matchup between the Seattle Storm and Minnesota Lynx was a prime example. A 29-year-old put on such a show that 3-time champion Dwyane Wade had to tip his hat. Bagging her career high, the young hooper made some tough shots. Given Wade’s recent desire in the WNBA, there is a chance the two might even link up soon. 

The NBA legend recently vocalized his interest in owning a WNBA franchise. With an NBA team already in his portfolio, Wade is looking to expand. Considering his reaction to the WNBA player’s career night, could Flash be headed to Seattle?

The 3-time champion has made a huge impact as a minority owner of the Utah Jazz in his short time there. Considering Wade’s $170 million net worth and desire for business, WNBA franchises must be excited. Among them, the Seattle Storm could be a dark horse contender. Especially after Jewell Loyd’s ice-cold performance!

29-year-old Loyd had the highest-scoring game of her career last night! With 41 points and 9 rebounds, the young star was unstoppable as she sent the game into overtime. However, her half-time buzzer-beater was the highlight of the day for Wade. 

Seattle’s star point guard put on some nifty moves as she hit a nasty behind-the-back crossover before finishing with a tough layup off the glass. Maybe it even reminded Wade of his own days putting defenders in the blender.

The 41-year-old was left speechless as he reacted- “🥶”.

The most recent reports suggest that the Miami Heat legend has his eyes on the WNBA franchise in his hometown, Chicago. Looking at their success and Wade’s connection to the city, the Chicago Sky could soon be looking at new ownership.

But Seattle is a team to look out for as well. With 4 championships already and a young talented core in hand, Wade might also shoot his shot with the Storm. Speaking of shooting shots…

Overtime fadeaway crushes Loyd’s huge night 

Loyd’s tough buckets toward the end of the fourth helped Seattle push the game to overtime. Though they held the lead entering the last minute of OT, 2019 ROTY Napheesa Collier decided to crush the Storm’s home crowd spirits.
