From the Arizona Republic: 5 Things Arizonans are NOT grateful for* . . . *But should be
2. Mercury
We all share in the thrill and glory of local champions. Arizonans can be grateful for a high-powered, crowd-pleasing team that just won the WNBA crown for the second time in the past three seasons. The Mercury's running offense excites fans and stuns opponents. Star player Diana Taurasi's antics and enthusiasm keep the energy high. What a pity the team couldn't fill seats in the final games. Especially when the entertainment included the sparkling hip-hop Phoenix Mercury Dance Squad, the most overlooked cheer team in the state.
