Emma Meesseman wins the Vlaamse Reus, beats out individual athletes like Nina Derwael and soccer stars like Romelu Lukaku

WAT ÉÉN JAAR VOOR EMMA MEESSEMAN!

I know, this is not a day where I should write about Meesseman, especially when I “stiffed” her for Crystal Langhorne for a spot on the All-Time Mystics’ First Team today. Belgians are probably not too happy at me right now.

But the WNBA Finals MVP has finally won some hardware for HERSELF in Flanders, the northern Dutch-speaking part of Belgium. On Friday, she won the Vlaamse Reus, which literally means the “Flemish Giant.” There’s also a rabbit that goes by that name, but I digress.
