How Fisticuffs in the WNBA Could Bring Ratings

The publicity starved WNBA got some negative press in a fight between players and coaches from the Los Angeles Sparks and Detroit Shock, including Candice Parker and Rick Mahorn.

If you weren't watching the WNBA last night, then you missed a great brawl. After watching the video of the WNBA fight, I had to see what others were saying about this little brawl.

In the WNBA, rookie Candace Parker of the Los Angeles Sparks finished a breakaway late in a game against the Indiana Fever with a one handed slam. This marked just the second time that a player in the WNBA threw one down.

It seems that the WNBA is continuing to grow and expand. Recently it was decided that businessman J. Ronald Terwilliger will own an operate a new Atlanta based expansion team.

Our best men's basketball stars are known by their first names: LeBron, Kobe, Dwayne. Meet Deanna -- Deanna "Tweety" Nolan -- and her friends from the WNBA.

With the WNBA season wrapping up, there comes the question of which teams are going to go all the way to the finals. To put in even simpler, who will become the WNBA Champions?

Some might say that while WNBA Superstar Tamika Catchings is the best WNBA player, but she may be just as valuable to the Indianapolis community, because of her service to young people.

I remember the first time I ever saw Sheryl Swoopes play basketball, she was putting up nearly unheard of scoring statistics while leading her college team, the Texas Tech Red Raiders to the 1993 NCAA Women's National Basketball Championship.

I don't know how else to say it, but Lauren Jackson has got G.A.M.E. That's right, maybe director Spike Lee should have gotten Jackson to star in his iconic basketball flick, "He Got Game."

Diana Taurasi is - or at least, the WNBA wants her to be - to the WNBA, what Dwayne Wade is to his male counterpart's professional league.

I know I'm telling my age, but I remember watching Tamika Catchings' dad, Harvey, a former backup center for the Philadelphia 76ers back in the 1970s, in my hometown, when I was just a prepubescent snot-nosed brat.

What can I say about Lisa Leslie? Not only is she one of the greatest female basketball players of all-time, but the girl is fine too - with a capital "F."

For followers of the WNBA - like myself - we know all about Deanna Nolan and her immense basketball skills. However, to the casual basketball fan, Nolan is name you may not recognize - or should I say, not much longer.

Ruth Riley is a fine player and a winner in every sense of the word. Having said that, I would say that it is safe to surmise that Riley has never reached the apex of what was predicted to be a stellar professional career.
