Quick Answer

Why is this signal trending now?

Why does it matter?

Audience Psychology

Fans and analysts are motivated by curiosity about how elite skills translate across contexts (college to WNBA) and by interest in rivalry narratives that produce shareable highlights.

More film breakdowns, highlight reels, narrative pieces on star rivalries, and potential commercial/endorsement interest if attention sustains.

Caveat
