The WNBA is no longer just existing — it’s exploding. Over the past few days, individual performances have been dropping like fireworks. Records, milestones, breakout moments: the women’s league is having a historic stretch. Blink, and you might’ve missed a few episodes. Because what Angel Reese, A’ja Wilson, Gabby Williams, and Dominique Malonga are doing?
It’s not just impressive. It’s iconic.
Angel Reese, the “Mebound” phenomenon
This June, Angel Reese stopped being just a promising rookie. She officially became a problem for every defense in the league.
First came June 15, against the Connecticut Sun. And that’s when Reese made her statement:
11 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists.
The result? Her first career triple-double, and a historic one at that — she became the second-youngest player in WNBA history to notch a triple-double, at 23 years and 40 days old. Only Caitlin Clark has done it younger, at 22. But here’s the twist: Reese did it in a high-stakes Commissioner’s Cup game, the WNBA’s equivalent of the NBA Cup — and led her team to a 78–66 win from start to finish.
Then came June 29, against the LA Sparks:
24 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal in 38 minutes, shooting 10-for-19 from the field. A complete, dominant, grown-woman performance.
And believe it or not — that was just the warm-up.
The “Mebound” phenomenon? She owns it.
Some fans online had criticized her style of play, claiming she stat-pads by grabbing her own missed layups. The internet, as usual, tried to clown her — coining the term Mebound.
What did Angel do?
She filed to trademark the term. Laughed it off. Made it hers.
That’s not just a clapback — that’s icon behavior.
A’ja Wilson, history at full speed
While Angel Reese is penning her opening chapter, A’ja Wilson is already writing hers in all caps.
The Las Vegas Aces superstar became the 28th player in WNBA history to reach 5,000 career points. But she didn’t just do it — she smashed the timeline:
238 games, making her the fastest ever to hit the milestone.
Faster than Breanna Stewart. Faster than Diana Taurasi. Faster than anyone. Period.
Wilson is the blueprint. A dominant scorer, a vocal leader, a clutch defender. She’s the face of this golden generation, and despite the rising stars like Reese or Clark, she’s still the boss.
At this pace, 10,000 points doesn’t just seem possible, it seems inevitable.
Gabby Williams, the invisible hand
While records were falling and timelines buzzing, one star turned heads by flying under the radar (well, kind of — everybody’s talking now): Gabby Williams.
In Seattle’s 98–67 blowout win over LA, the French-American guard made history of her own:
8 steals in one game — a new franchise record for the Storm.
Add 11 points and 7 assists, and you get a performance that confirms what real fans already knew: Gabby is a superstar in this league.
She’s not in it for the highlight reels — she’s here for the team. The kind of player every coach dreams of: smart, unselfish, intense. That night, she turned the court into a minefield for LA — stealing the ball, the show, and maybe soon… the WNBA’s single-season steals record.
Keep an eye out — she’s coming for it.
Dominique Malonga, the future on the rise
And while the stars shine bright, Dominique Malonga is rising.
Just 19 years old, the French player of Congolese and Cameroonian heritage logged her first double-digit scoring game in the WNBA — becoming the second-youngest player in league history to do so, behind only Maria Stepanova.
A quiet debut, maybe. But full of promise.
The talent? Undeniable. Now it’s just a matter of minutes and confidence.
As one American commentator said, “Give her two years, and she’ll be sending shots into the second row.”
We believe it.
Fresh air is blowing through the league
Reese. Wilson. Williams. Malonga.
Four names. Four energies. Four truth moments.
The WNBA is stepping into a new era.
The young guns? More ready than ever.
The veterans? Pushing their own limits.
The international stars? Shaking up the system, just like in the NBA.
It’s no longer “a good time to follow the WNBA.”
It’s THE moment.
So buckle up.
The show must go on.
