Wasn't that Tina's nickname? |
I don't know nor even care. It seems some years ago another poster was claiming that nickname belonged to someone else. Nneka's every play intensity earned her that nickname for me. Brittney Sykes is another player who deserves such a nickname, although, the truth be told, I feel she plays with a bit too much intensity! Brittney throws her body around so recklessly she sometimes appears to be a breath away from a serious injury. I would prefer that she reel her enthusiasm in at times. You cannot help your team if you are stretched out on the training table.
One thing I especially love about this current Sparks team is that we have a lot of gritty, blue collar players and virtually no prima donnas now that Ace has left the squad.

Jap-- Yes you and i seemed to be of the same opinion that Parker was a bigger liability than an asset. With the exception of last season of course, but that was not going to last. I suspect she knew already that she was not going to resign with the Sparks and was puttng in extra effert for this years contract. At first I thought it might have been because her daughter provided the inspiration, but playing for her last contract seems more logical now. Well she might put in a good effort her first year with Chicago.

People are different. Some players may possess remarkable skills yet lack the gritty determination to grind things out play by play in a true championship effort. The top champions are not necessarily the most superbly skilled. Ace possessed more overall skill than Lisa Leslie, but history shows who was the better overall player, better leader over the course of a full season.

That's the thing about Parker. She's amazing when she wants to be. When she doesn't she gets benched. If only she had played every game and season like she was chasing a contract lol.

A health verification is required for all ticketed guests. Guests are required to present a photo ID, and either proof of full vaccination (two weeks since your final dose) or a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of the event date. Remember, if you’re not feeling well, please stay home! |
So you must have been tested within the last 72 hrs to attend the game ? What i was tested 4 days ago to attend a game , and then there's another game 3 days later on a back to back ? Am i not allowed to attend now til i take another test ?

It's either/or - if you haven't been fully vaccinated then yeah, you have to continually get tested. But if you have been vaccinated you just show proof.
