Jayda Evans also delves into the rivalry between LJ and LLL. Both players have changed and matured since their infamous 2000 Olympics incident. Leslie says that Jackson does not curse at her anymore and compliments her.

Jackson added, "I've grown up a lot since all that has happened. I can hold a conversation without shying away and worrying about her belting me. She's all right."

As their two teams faces off tonight in Seattle, one of the best fan bases in the league could be critical to the Storm's success. "The more support that we get from people around Seattle, it's going to help us," said Jackson. Jellybean says the Sparks will have to overcome that boost from the crowd.

As for Leslie, the change in coaches, playing overseas in the offseason and a decision in the offseason to stop worrying about her team's management moves has led to a resurgent season for her.

Although the Storm did not have as successful of a regular season as the Sparks, Sue Bird thinks her team has learned from that, their exit last season against the Comets and this season's series with L.A.
