Minnesota Lynx rookie Olivia Miles, dubbed “The Spectacle,” has caught the attention of basketball legend Dawn Staley. Staley suggests Miles could be the WNBA’s “Logo,” akin to the late Jerry West in the NBA.
“@oliviamiles06 got me in my house cursing on a Sunday. Lord have mercy!” Staley shared on X during the Lynx’s victory over the Indiana Fever. She urged the WNBA to consider a logo change with a fan-made mock-up of Miles as the inspiration.
Dawn Staley, the esteemed head coach of South Carolina women’s basketball and Hall-of-Famer, brings credibility to her praise for Miles. Anyone can see Miles’s exceptional talent, even those without a deep basketball background.
During the game against the Fever, Miles delivered an impressive performance with 28 points from 11-for-14 shooting, six assists, and four rebounds. These numbers mirror her consistent high-level play since being picked second overall in the 2026 WNBA Draft in April.
While “The Logo” title may remain elusive, Miles is a strong contender for both WNBA Rookie of the Year and WNBA MVP. The Lynx have triumphed in 10 consecutive games and hold the league’s best record at 25-6. Miles is a leading scorer averaging 19.4 points per game and tops the assists chart with 5.8 per game, showcasing continuous improvement.
Olivia Miles has blended seamlessly with veteran All-Star guards Courtney Williams and Kayla McBride, and the return of All-Star forward Napheesa Collier strengthens the lineup. Though the Las Vegas Aces have clinched three titles in the last four years, the Lynx are poised to break their eight-year championship drought, making this season pivotal.
