• The Seattle Storm had a trophy night, where fans could see the Oklahoma City Thunder's Sonics' 1979 NBA Finals trophy when they beat the Washington Wizards Bullets; the Seahawks' 2014 Super Bowl trophy when they beat the Denver Broncos; and the Storm's 2004 and 2010 WNBA Finals trophies for beating the Connecticut Sun and Atlanta Dream respectively. However, the buzz around those trophies weren't enough to beat the Phoenix Mercury. They lost 89-71 and that gives Phoenix a 13th straight win. Here's a recap from Jayda Evans of the Seattle Times.

Drake and WNBA players

Canadian rapper/entertainer Drake has been one of the most popular musicians over the last several years. He also hosted the ESPY's exactly one week ago, and tried to get his Instagram crush, Skylar Diggins to kiss him. She did, kind of. Here's a link to USA Today's "For the Win" for more.

If you didn't know already, Diggins already has a boyfriend whom she dated since her college days. His name is Daniel Smith, who was on the football team. He also had an Instagram photo that sent a subtle message to Drake. Man, I wonder how it's like to be in his shoes every day.

Well, the ESPY's host also took a picture with Washington Mystics guard Bria Hartley as well, for what it's worth. I'm guessing that he was uber-impressed by..... you know:

Feel free to eat me alive now for showing this play for.... the thousandth time, even if she did push a defender to the floor. :P
