Arike Ogunbowale's electric WNBA All-Star Game performance earned her MVP honors and so much love from hoops fans

Arike Ogunbowale was on an ABSOLUTE HEATER during Saturday’s WNBA All-Star game.

All day, I could not land on who I thought might be the All-Star Game MVP. Update: IT’S ARIKE OGUNBOWALE. The woman dropped 21 points — DURING THE THIRD QUARTER ALONE — and somehow, that wasn’t enough. She just kept going until she got to 34 points and a new WNBA All-Star record.

Arike. GIRL. These Team USA players have families. You didn’t have to do them like this. Actually, you know what? I’M GLAD YOU DID. You dropped buckets on headtops with over 16,000 fans in the building and a ton more watching from home. That brilliant effort earned you WELL-DESERVED MVP honors.

Arike is just the fourth player behind Lisa Leslie, Maya Moore and Swin Cash to win multiple All-Star Game MVP trophies. Super impressive stuff.

Her performance was so good that fans couldn’t help but share some fitting memes about her huge night against Team USA.

UPDATE: Arike posted a nearly soundless postgame reaction showing off the MVP trophy and then dropped a single emoji minutes later. COLD.
