SI's Elizabeth Newman touts our game in a great piece directed at newbies:

"One reason some basketball fans stay away is that the WNBA is constantly compared to the men's game. Its stars are forever weighed against the male hoop legends of yesteryear, which is just wrong. Lisa Leslie is not Magic, Sheryl Swoopes is not Jordan and Sue Bird is not Larry. And they shouldn't have to be. These are women who play the game and play it well. These ladies still got next, and it's about time we took notice."
