More WNBA 2020 season simulation

Jackie Powell took a deep dive into Kickin’ it with Kia, New York Liberty’s new Instagram Live Show.

While engaging with the Liberty fan community is the main goal of New York’s marketing department, an ulterior opportunity presents itself to Nurse, Powell writes. Hosting Kickin’ it with Kia gives her so much more. She’s preparing for her life adjacent to basketball in addition to this ‘New Era’ for the Liberty.

“So it’s kind of like an introduction on both sides where, you know, they’re probably learning a little bit about me and I’m learning a little bit about them,” Nurse told The Next. “So I’ll still do research probably, just to see what they’ve come up with through stuff that they’ve done in college or simple Instagram searches are always easy to figure out what people like.”

The 2020 WNBA Season Simulation continues, and so far in the month of June, the Connecticut Sun have gone cold.

Natalie Heavren explores the ways Bria Holmes has stepped up, how Theresa Plaisance’s presence has helped the team and why Jasmine Thomas and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis need to shoot more threes.
