Sometimes it's a gimmick -- sometimes it's not.

You'll recall Kristin Green, the third ever signing of a female player in the ABA. Well in only her second game, the UC Irvine grad went off for 25 points on 9-of-15 shooting.

Great news for her -- not so much for her team, the Orange County Gladiators. Green caught the eye of Michael Cooper, and will be leaving the team to prepare for the L.A. Sparks training camp in April.
