They've also become the thrid Original WNBA team to win the title after the LA Sparks and 'ahem' the Houston Comets
Hi Monica,
Thanks I didn't know that and I pride myself on knowing WNBA info. (lol)
My bad,
Actually the Mercury are the fourth Original WNBA team to win a title. Forgot about the Sacramento Monarchs.
I probably forgot about them because they beat my girls that year to get into the WNBA Finals ;)
Hi Monica,
I like the Monarchs. I think Kara Lawson, Nicole Powell and Kristin Haynie are great players.
I remember watching Nicole play on tv when she was at Stanford. And I remember Kristin from the NCAA tournament when she was at Michigan.
Also Kara did a grat job as a sideline reporter for the NBA on ESPN last season.
And sorry they beat Houston. (lol)
