WNBPA executive director Terri Jackson told reporters the last 10+ hours were โa lot of conversation going in the right direction.โ

Bamโs previous career-highs in these categories were 41 points, 15 field-goal makes, 27 field-goal attempts, six 3-point makes, 13 3-point attempts, 14 free-throw makes and 20 free-throw attempts. Yes, he more than doubled a career-high for scoring, which was already in the 40s. Itโs unfathomable on every single level that Adebayo did this, and I was once in the building for Corey Brewerโs 51-point night.ย

Some of the frivolous September purchases made under Secretary Pete Hegsethโs stewardship include a $98,329 Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staffโs home, $5.3 million for Apple devices such as the new iPad, and an astronomical amount of shellfish, including $2 million for Alaskan king crab and $6.9 million worth of lobster tail. (Lobster tail is apparently a favorite of Hegsethโs Pentagonโthe department spent more than $7.4 million total on the luxury item in March, May, June, and October.) In other pricey food purchases, the government decided to drop $15.1 million for ribeye steak (again, just in September), $124,000 for ice cream machines, and $139,224 on 272 orders of doughnuts.
