All-Star reserves named.
For the East: Swin Cash, Cheryl Ford (nice!), Deanna Nolan, Becky Hammon, Pee Wee Johnson, and Natalie Williams.
For the West: Adrian Williams, Margo Dydek, Yo Griffith, Katie Smith, Lauren Jackson, and Tamecka Dixon.
I think this is all pretty good -- the coaches picked up the deserving folks missed by the fans. Also very nice to name Hammon -- the league will name replacements for her and Cynthia Cooper on Monday.
Two top players who didn't get the nod were Marie Ferdinand and Nykesha Sales. Some LA-haters will no doubt complain that Coach Cooper cheated by taking Dixon over Ferdinand. But their numbers are so close that you can't get too mad. Plus, maybe Sales and Ferdinand will bet picked to fill in the injury spots.
