...

Reebok’s entry into the WNBA marks an exciting time for the league and the brand. The collaboration will bring exclusive footwear, engaging content, and impactful campaigns to fans worldwide, further strengthening women’s basketball's visibility. As WNBA Chief Growth Officer Colie Edison stated, “The WNBA continues to grow with iconic brands, and we look forward to Reebok joining us in driving women’s basketball to new heights and inspiring the next generation. As we continue to capitalize on increased brand awareness, our work with Reebok is another step in bringing more fans to the game.”

“It’s an exciting time for Reebok, the WNBA, and the game of basketball overall,” said Shaquille O’Neal, President of Reebok Basketball. “Reebok has always been committed to supporting the growth of the sport, and now with a strong plan, the right resources, and the welcoming arms of the WNBA, we’re ready to dive in headfirst with everything from product to players and more.”
 

"While details of this partnership haven’t been revealed, this newfound union is an opportunity for the brand to showcase its new products. In addition to the Engine A, which debuted on Reese earlier this season, Angel will be getting her own signature shoe in 2026 (she will be just the second WNBA athlete with a Reebok signature shoe).

“The WNBA continues to grow with iconic brands, and we look forward to Reebok joining us in driving women’s basketball to new heights and inspiring the next generation,” said WNBA Chief Growth Officer Colie Edison.

Reebok will look to add to its WNBA roster of athletes, which already includes Reese and Lexie Brown of the LA Sparks.

"Robert Cole Parmalee of Grants Pass, Oregon, received a one-year suspended sentence and three years' probation. According to the plea agreement, Parmalee must abide by the protective order that has been in effect since Sept. 16 and will remain in place until Jan. 4, 2064 and comply with treatment recommendations for his mental health.

He is barred from the state of Connecticut during his three-year probation.

In addition, Parmalee is barred from arenas, hotels and practice facilities where the UConn women's basketball team is present. The State's Attorney also added that the WNBA has barred him from all arenas and practice facilities.

Parmalee apologized in court to the state of Connecticut, its residents and to UConn. According to his attorney, Parmalee is booked on a Wednesday evening flight to Washington.

Bueckers and UConn coach Geno Auriemma declined to comment through a spokesperson.

"My client had requested that [Parmalee] return home, get the evaluation and treatment that he needs, and that she be left alone," said attorney Robert Britt, who represented Bueckers at Wednesday's hearing. "We're very happy with that."

Parmalee was arrested by Connecticut State Police on Aug. 27 while he was walking along a highway near Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks. According to UConn Police, Parmalee told state police that he was going to see Bueckers. Prior to his arrest, Parmalee posted on social media that he was traveling to Connecticut to propose to Bueckers and to get her expelled from UConn.

He had been held on $100,000 bond since his arrest."
 
So reebok not dead anymore? Some of their retros are cool but them not having the dmx cushioning was disappointing. A few years back they were basically a crossfit brand.
 
Yep, Bill and Charles Barkley and a lot of dudes on the air have said ****** up **** over the years. It's nice to see people finally getting their heads out of their asses, though I don't think these guys deserve a cookie for finally realizing how dumb they were.

Anyway, looking forward to Bueckers & JuJu tonight
 
Need to see more out of Paige. USC definitely is way more talented but have not felt her impact on the game at all.

If Juju is hitting jumpers, it’s a wrap
 
I understand aggression and all but I didn't like those consecutive possessions from UCONN.

Paige the 3 in transition with 3:30 left on the clock.

The next possession was a 1-on-3 that had Chen pull up from mid range in transition.
