The Washington Post gets ready for the All-Star game with a profile of Evil Bill.

Katie Smith says coach Laimbeer "never taps you on the back and says, 'Great job.' He's not a cheerleader-type... I just really love that he tells you exactly what he wants and what he feels," she continues. "That's wonderful at this point of my career."

Also in the Post, the (limited) festivities that will surround the game. "I would love to throw the biggest party in the world," says Mystics owner Sheila Johnson, "but I'd have to get approval from the league."
