One of the biggest names in the WNBA is just days away from making one of the most consequential decisions in league history.

But before the two-time WNBA champion, two-time Finals MVP, four-time All-WNBA First Teamer, four-time All-Star, reigning WNBA scoring champion, and past league MVP decides where she'll play next season, she's determined to have a little bit of fun with all of the fervor surrounding her upcoming decision.

Those following along with the drama will have their answer soon enough. Teams can officially begin negotiations with free agents on Saturday, while players will become eligible to sign new contracts on February 1.
