If your child wants to play basketball, you should have them mimic everything Collier does, from the way she reads situations to the way she treats teammates.
If you are an NBA star trying to diversify your game, you should study Collier to figure out how she almost always makes the right play.
If you are not a white male in a country that has elected just one person of color and zero women to be president in a country that is 248 years old, you can study the way Collier has run her life, becoming a sports star and idol while starting her own basketball league and vocally supporting the causes in which she believes.
The Lynx are one of eight teams in league history to start a season 8-0. They are winning with one superstar, one All-Star caliber player (Kayla McBride) and a bunch of role players.
They are winning without significant help from recent drafts, and without having signed a star in free agency since they landed McBride in 2021.
Duncan earned the nickname the “Big Fundamental.”
