Send us Fan Mail

In this episode, recorded from the French Alps and the Jersey Shore, we recap the Valkyries’ incredible winning streak (eight straight at the time of recording, including five consecutive road wins), talk about missing Ballhalla, announce the launch of our Court Queens book club, reflect on the viral response to our Pride Game article, and then dive into the story of one of the Valkyries’ newest—not newest—players: Justė Jocytė.

Justė is a young Lithuanian guard who developed in France’s top professional leagues before becoming the Valkyries’ very first draft pick in 2025!! 

Although she only  joined the active roster this season, she’s been part of the Valkyries’ story from the very beginning and is firmly on basketball fans’ watch lists on both sides of the Atlantic. 

We talk about her impressive basketball career thus far, what to expect from her moving forward, and even review a couple words we should all learn in Lithuanian.

Merci for listening, and as always…

Say less. Go Valks. Allez Les Violettes.
