Jasmine Thomas is known as a premier defender. She's averaged over a steal per game for the last six seasons, so you absolutely do not want to see her guarding your favorite player. Jas also has the ability to go OFF on the other end of the court. She proved this in Game 1 of the 2020 semifinals when she completely took over, scoring 31 points, including shooting 50% from three. It is now simply referred to as "the Jasmine Thomas game."

When she's not on her way to steal your girl's ball, Jas is a lifestyle blogger, covering her DIY projects, book recommendations, and travels overseas. If you don't think you need lifesteyle tips from Jas, I will refer you to this photo:

Also, just look at this adorable shot from Rome:

She's also recently started a baking business, aptly named A Baking Bucket. I personally am excited to implement her tips for the perfect chocolate chip cookie.

Not yet a meme, but let's make it one:
