On May 19, 2006, Simone Edwards retired as the last remaining original member of the Storm. Edwards earned her way into the hearts of Seattle fans with her relentlessly positive attitude and omnipresent smile. After spending a season as a developmental player for the New York Liberty, Edwards arrived in Seattle and made the team as a free agent. She quickly emerged as a key post player, averaging 7.4 points per game in both 2000 and 2001 and starting 27 games the latter season. Edwards played a complementary role thereafter, but continued to step up for the Storm when needed. A native of Jamaica, Edwards has helped out children in her home country with her Simone4Children foundation.
