Shocking the world. From first to worst. Detroit has just won the WNBA championship. I don't watch the WNBA, but no matter what sport it is, I love to see LA lose!!!
I ammm sooo late. I just realized it was the Detroit Shock. the DETROIT Shock. Time to flip over cars, and burn things.
LOL....yeah. Atleast LA lost. I don't follow the WNBA so I really don't know what was going on....i didnt know it was the finals until they said the shock have just won the WNBA FINALS!!! Worst to first....blah blah....
Hahaha, i went to read the article. Cheryl Ford is a player on the Detroit Shock. Remember her? Her dad is our friend, the Mailman, Karl Malone. Basically, Karl's daughter has a championship ring, where as he doesnt.
That is sweet. I knew Deanna Nolan was a player, she just needed a coach to bring it out of her. Thank goodness we won't have to listen to those morons from LA bragging about how great they are all offseason. Nice to see Leslie get smoked by Ruth Riley, that's classic. They have no shame and no respect. Congrats to the Shock!
Game 3 of 2003 WNBA Finals between the Los Angeles Sparks and the Detroit Shock provided the stage for a sellout crowd of 22,076 at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
I'm happy the Shock won..............Cuz the Sparks are still stuck at No. 2. For a while I was worried. The Sparks were actaully giving the Comets 4 titles a challange. I was afaraid they would pass up the Comets in the title race. But thanks to Detroit that has been postponed......... Last year.........LA, city of Champions with Lakers and Sparks. This Year..........LA, city of CHUMPS!!!!! And one more thing.........I see Cheryl Ford has learned a thing or two from ole Daddy Mailman. I just wished she would have thrown one of those nasty "Mailman-esque" elbows on Lisa Leslie and knock the livin **** out of that BEEYATCH!
``This is probably the most-physical game that I've ever played in my life,'' Leslie said. ``I guess this is where our game is going.'' Look who's talking....
I laughed at that comment... Lisa was pouting that someone actually played her as hard as she plays others.
Tiger... I thought that LA would win this one. But I didn't think they would win the 4th or 5th? Why? Because, giving how good the Comets were, the hardest titles to win where the 2nd and the 4th. The 2nd, because Phoenix played as though they thought they could win. They believed. It took us an overtime to beat them. The 4th ring was hard because of one thing...complacence. And that's the reason that the Lakers lost last year. Complacency. Usually the *other* team wants it more. But we still won the 4th. Incredible! The 1st and 3rd were easy. We walked on the court and all the other teams were scared of us. Those were "easy" comparably. Seems like the Sparks ran into a team that "wanted it more" a year early.
Amazing how some guys have huge egos and cannot admit that was a good game the shock played...that final shot was amazing.
Man, Jay Mohr was hilarious hosting for Jim Rome yesterday. He was making fun of the fact that Karl Malone's daughter got a ring before he did.
The LA Sparks are the TWO TIME WNBA Champions......................... and thats all folks! Even with all the dealing and even with all the great players they are nothing compared to the Houston Comets THE FOUR TIME WNBA Champions.
