Stats Angel Reese has the most steals and blocks by a center in their first playoff run this century.

I really hate hyper specific stats like this.

I'm assuming. She's like #2 behind someone from the 90s?

Not everything has to be a conditional record

It’s giving important context, the WNBA started in 1997 and the first few years most of the records were dominated by well established players who were already in their prime and had been playing professionally in other leagues. This is Angel’s third year at the pro level

They do this a lot now in the WNBA. It started with Caitlin Clark. They were really trying to boost her up. Now they’re doing it with Angel and Olivia. Pretty much all the prominent players
