It’s been four years since Minnesota Lynx guards Kayla McBride and Moriah Jefferson shared a back-court when they suited up for the Las Vegas Aces in 2018.
Before they were stretching defenses in Sin City, the dynamic and highly competitive duo started beside each other for the now-extinct San Antonio Shooting Stars. There they learned the hard way, at the hands of the dynastic Lynx squads of the 2010s, what winning in the WNBA looks like.
“They were champions on both ends of the floor. Coming up, from 2014 through 2017, they owned this league,” Lynx guard Kayla McBride recalled recently, with a laugh.
