RebKell's Junkie Boards

With the season approaching, I find myself excited about many things. Seeing Sheryl and Swin play together. Seeing Fowles in Chicago and how that changes their squad. Seeing the new Atlanta squad play. Waiting to see what rookie surprises and emerging players happen this season.

But something else excites me. Something dark and dirty. Something I never thought I would admit.

I, eyevolley4, am excited for the return of Lisa Leslie-Lockwood.



No, no, I'm not a big fan, but there is a villainous quality that I think Lisa brings that few others in the league possess. Running to the computer to complain about Leslie's elbows was practically a ritual of mine and many others, and I, for one, am happy that will be coming back to me.

So the question is, am I sick in the head for being pumped about the return of Anne Meyers favorite basketball player ever - L. L. L.

The lack of a villain last year did make for a somewhat lackluster season, IMO.

growing up in the playgrounds of the bronx....brooklyn.....and newark in the 60's.....the rule was....."if you're close enough to catch an elbow.....you're too close"......

I am too...and you know, I actually don't mind LLL when her elbows are on my side of things..

Seriously, I still say Candace and Lisa on the same time have the potential for..well..a lot of fun..

Say what you will about LLL's style of play - she is STILL one of the most prolific players ever to lace them up, and probably still the most recognized face in the WNBA.

Despite her age, I predict she will come back with a vengeance in 2008 - just to prove a point. Don't know how much gas is left in the tank for 2009 and beyond, but she will be playing in MVP form in 2008.

It's simply a love/hate relationship with me.........

I'd love to have her on my team but I love to hate her when she's not. She' a great player, competitor and good for the game.

I am stunned but I actually missed LLL too.

But You know I am looking forward to making a villian out of her New Apprentice. (Assuming that Parker is the #1 Pick) I know Parker is super talented but I wouls actually like to have her score a point in the WNBA before we Stamp her into the All-Star Status.

I'd rather be trapped in someone else's dutch oven than deal with the "breath of fresh air" Gavin Newsom would bring to Sacramento.
That's change NO-ONE can believe in.

I missed her alot. Without lisa there wasnt alot of fun in going to see the Sparks. Should Tina leave the Comets I will say the same thing.

I actually missed LLL too. More importantly, I miss hating the Sparks. I sorta started feeling sorry for them during the Henry Bibby experiment and haven't reacquired that hatred. It's much more fun to boo them when they are good, so I actually look forward to Michael Cooper turning them back into the evil empire of the WNBA! I hope Lisa comes back with a vengeance, it will be like the old days at ARCO!

That's a good point MamaBristow.

Last year, with Spencer and Taj, it was a real challenge for me to dislike the Sparks. The only thing that helped me hold onto the hate in the long term was when I had to watch tons of interviews about and of Leslie talking about whatever the heck they wanted to talk to her about that day.

It's like they made us suffer through watching Sparks games because they wanted us to watch Lisa Leslie-Lockwood interviews.

At least get her back on the court where she is much more hate-able.

Diana just doesn't have whatever it is that LLL has. I can't imagine anyone saying "I'm gonna fuck that bitch up" when referring to The Diana.

If Triple L gets back to her old tricks, we need DeMya back to keep her in check. And Yo to hold DeMya back.

Many people here probably is aware of my feelings towards Delisha Milton-Jones. In short, I'd prefer never watching her play again - and it has every bit as much to do with her poor shot selection as it does her cheap shots she takes on opponents regularly.

Nothing is wrong with you. She is one of the greats. I am also excited to see her play again.

Re: Parker in purple.

[jaye]

my girlfriend was never keen on the wnba.....she was a football fan and thought (wrongly) that the wnba women were prissy.....she would make comments about the women wearing makeup and having their hair done while they played .....the usual narrow minded complaints against our women.....

until she happened to be sitting on the couch with me during a sparks/comets game.....lisa and tina were going at it like axe murderers.....throwing bo's with attitude.....my girlfriend hopped up and said d*mn.....it changed her whole perception of the "w" .....

i love the technical aspect of the "w" and the closness to the basic game.....but man, i sure miss the battles and the beef between lisa and tina.....
