Re: Jonquel Jones: Face of the WNBA
"Not a big name in college at George Washington"?!?!?!?
With the game´s best player rotting in a gulag after getting caught allegedly carrying a schedule 1 narcotic through an airport, perhaps JJ proves an able spokesperson for the league, I certainly hope she does.

Re: Jonquel Jones: Face of the WNBA
JJ with two huge FTs to tie the game with 11 seconds left in the 4th. Ionescu missed her 2 FTs and JJ got the rebound and got fouled. She's had a great game and she's so clutch. Has played great D down the stretch as well

Re: Jonquel Jones: Face of the WNBA
Congratulations to JJ and the Liberty for winning their first WNBA title!
She was a vital part of their run and averaged 17.8ppg, 7.6 rebounds, and 2 assists per game in the best of 5 finals.
JJ also awarded finals MVP! What a career for her.

Re: Jonquel Jones: Face of the WNBA
I think there's a pretty good argument she's the most successful GW professional athlete of all time, not just basketball player

You could certainly make that arguement, although a certain Mr Auerbach (Class of ´41) won a few more rings. Of course, he did not have her scoring and rebounding stats.
