It’s late February in Seattle, which generally means crickets-and-tumbleweed season for sports. No NBA. No NHL. And no actual games taking place in spring training.
Fortunately, a story has emerged that this town never saw coming and may never see again. Its author? One Kelsey Plum.
Plum is going to hate this piece because she only enjoys the spotlight when it shines on her teammates, too. The UW point guard deflects attention as automatically as she strokes home free throws.
But when you’re on the brink of breaking the all-time NCAA scoring record, closing in on the season scoring record, and positioning yourself to be a top pick in the WNBA draft, you’re going to get some ink dedicated to you and you alone.
