[This Talkie is not a substitute for an actual attorney but may provide insight on the process] After your grandmotherโ€™s funeral, the weight of mortality settles over you and your spouse like an uninvited guest. The drive home is heavy with silence, broken only by the rhythmic click of the turn signal. That night, as you tuck your kids into bed, you catch your spouseโ€™s eye โ€” a silent question youโ€™ve both been avoiding for years. โ€œWhat would happen ifโ€ฆ?โ€ you begin hesitantly. Your spouse sighs. โ€œI donโ€™t even know where to start. I have a friend whoโ€™s a criminal lawyer. Canโ€™t he just do it?โ€ Determined to find answers, you post in the local parentsโ€™ Facebook group: โ€œLooking for recommendations for a reputable estate planning attorney. Starting the process of a living will โ€” any help appreciated!โ€ The responses pour in faster than expected โ€” some helpful, others far too personal: โ€œWe used Rosen & Grant! They made sure our estranged son couldnโ€™t touch a penny.โ€ โ€œDonโ€™t bother with Cohen Law โ€” they just want your money!โ€ โ€œWe did it ourselves online! You donโ€™t need a lawyer if you have a brain!โ€ โ€œMake sure you appoint a secondary guardian! My sisterโ€™s husband didnโ€™t, and it was a nightmare!โ€ Overwhelmed, you start a spreadsheet, color-coding the suggestions. Green for promising, yellow for questionable, red for no-goโ€™s. Your spouse glances over your shoulder. โ€œWhy are all the โ€˜Garysโ€™ under โ€˜Never Considerโ€™? What did they do?โ€ โ€œHeโ€™s the one who said, โ€˜Just trust your family, they wonโ€™t fight over money.โ€™ Clearly, heโ€™s never met ours.โ€ Your spouse suggests checking Yelp, but that only adds to the confusion. One review praises a lawyer for โ€œsaving their estate,โ€ while the next claims the same attorney โ€œscammed my aunt out of her inheritance!โ€ Curious, you click a โ€œGet a Free Quoteโ€ link, and your inbox is instantly flooded with marketing emails from firms promising to โ€œprotect your legacy.โ€

Naomi Cox Carter (#71) sat at the end of the bench, towel draped over her shoulders, watching the game unfold without her. The crowd roared, her teammates fought for every basket, and yet she feltโ€ฆ detached. Like she was watching from behind a glass wall, present but not really there. Her body still wasnโ€™t right. The recovery from her C-section had taken longer than she expected. The scar was a constant reminderโ€”tight, aching, pulling at her every movement. She had spent months rebuilding strength, but no amount of training could erase the feeling that she wasnโ€™t the same player anymore. Her legs felt heavier, her reflexes slower. The rhythm she once played with, the instincts that made her a standout forward, had dulled. And then there was the exhaustionโ€”the kind that seeped into her bones, that no amount of sleep seemed to cure. Except she wasnโ€™t sleeping, not really. Between late-night feedings, the quiet cries of her daughter, and the constant, nagging doubt in her mind, rest felt like a distant memory. She wanted to be the Naomi everyone remembered. The aggressive, athletic forward who could outwork anyone on the court. But what if she couldnโ€™t get back there? What if thisโ€”riding the bench, feeling like a shadow of herselfโ€”was all that was left? A whistle blew. A timeout. Marko crouched in front of the team, sketching out plays, his voice sharp and focused. Naomi barely heard him. She felt a hand on her shoulder. โ€œYouโ€™re doing everything you can,โ€ Simone Reynolds murmured. Naomi forced a small nod, but inside, the doubt whispered louder than any encouragement. She had fought her way onto this team, but the question remainedโ€”was she fighting a battle sheโ€™d already lost?

Anissa Porter โ™€

Anissa Porter (#24) had built her career on strength โ€” a bruising center who dominated the paint, protected the rim, and rarely backed down. Off the court, that same resolve had seen her through raising her son, Jaylen, mostly on her own. He was her quiet, thoughtful boy, the one who watched her games with wide eyes and an easy smile. Then, during a family therapy session meant to help Jaylen with his anxiety, he came out as transgender. As Jaylen became Jayla, Anissa found herself grappling with feelings she couldnโ€™t name โ€” guilt, loss, confusion โ€” but above all, love. Her child was still there, but also someone new. She tried to be the supportive mother Jayla deserved, but as news of her daughterโ€™s transition leaked to the media, the world around them changed. Headlines and online chatter twisted their familyโ€™s private journey into a public spectacle. Reporters asked invasive questions, fans speculated, and opposing players murmured on the court. The teamโ€™s PR department approached Anissa, suggesting a prepared statement. Something safe. Something controlled. Instead, Anissa chose to speak from her heart. At a team press conference, flanked by her coach and teammates, she was once again asked the question. She spoke of love and the courage it took for Jayla to be herself. She shared her own uncertainties but made it clear: Jayla was her daughter, and she was proud of her. Reporters tried to twist her words, tried to find controversy, but Anissa remained unshakeable. When the noise felt unbearable, she took to the court, each play a way to push back against the chaos. Basketball had always been her sanctuary โ€” and now, it was her platform.
