Monday, Oct. 14, 2002 Quote of the Week "The WNBA concept remains a good one. It's not so much that women are playing. It's the idea of watching basketball being played below the rim. Most people can relate to that better than an NBA dunkfest. "Plus, like regular folks, the WNBAers sometimes goof up layups or go ice cold from the foul line. Not too often, mind you, but enough to convince spectators that they are watching human beings. "That's a good thing. In fact, it may be the WNBA's best attribute. From their play on the court to their emotions in the locker room, the performers come across as very real." —This excerpt appeared in St. Paul Pioneer Press columnist Tom Powers' article on May 26, 2002.
