Besides Coop, this is one of my biggest faves back in the day, Ruthie Bolton. I liked her aggressive style of play. And admittedly the guns and abs impressed me.  |

Always did like Staley's intensity. You could see it in her face when she played, she was really for real serious. |

Did someone say throwback?

Who's the third COMET in that pic with Coop and Tina? It's not Swoopes or Perrot, it's not Arcain....she looks tall next to Tina so I'm thinking maybe Tammy Jackson???

Here we have Silver Stars head coach Dan Hughes and assistant Brian Agler demonstrating some good rotation and double-teaming technique to try to close out on a three point shooter, in this case Sheryl Swoopes.

I'm not sure which year this photo was taken. But as of this writing, only three people in this photo are still playing in the WNBA, and one of them recently announced her impending retirement.

That has to be from 2003, the only year Ford was in Detroit and Spoon was in New York at the same time. |
11 years ago. One of those teams no longer exists, one doesn't exist anywhere close to what it once did, but the other 4 on hanging on. |

I love that Cappie interview photo that you posted, caune. Cappie is a very attractive woman. This photo is flashback on how she looked before she went extreme with her personal style and fashion.
