50 Year Old Nancy Lieberman playing
And you thought Mutombo was crazy. She had 2 assists and 2 turnovers and she's like 50. Wtf.

Re: 50 Year Old Nancy Lieberman playing
At first I didn't like it although looked forward to it and now as I know the reason for it I'm okay with it. First the reason I didn't like it was because people that maybe were watching for the first time or critics would have turned this into the league being a joke, I mean 50 year old women playing in the league. At the same time I was curious as to how it would workout and every time she was in the game I couldn't help but smile. It was nice to actually bring a smile to Shock fans since we haven't had much to smile about lately.
And then after the game Laimbeer same it was a one time then and was about respect and not a publicity stunt. She impressed him last season during the All-Star break going through drills I guess and this was the perfect timing to give her a shot even if it was for just one game. And for her, I'm not mad at her, as she said its about living life and I was glad to see her have a good time. Sad Detroit lost but chances of winning that game with practically our entire front line missing just wasn't going to happen, no matter who we were playing.

Re: 50 Year Old Nancy Lieberman playing
Julio Franco was almost 50 when he was playing for the Mets last year, so I don't see a problem with Nancy suiting up to play.

Re: 50 Year Old Nancy Lieberman playing
This just tells me that Mutombo will never retire. Great!

Re: 50 Year Old Nancy Lieberman playing
Basketball is the best sport to watch. In Hockey the puck is too small and too hard to follow and it is too fast. In football there is like this offensive defensive line up crap and when all those sweaty men jump onto each other you don't know who has the ball. In baseball the guy throws the ball like 6 times for one guy to either hit or like strike out and even the teammates get bored that they go throw a ball around in the pin. In soccer scoring takes forever, but the fans are quite hot.
Therefore basketball is the best sport to watch. When the other team has the ball, you defend, and when you're offense you get to the hoop and score. Everyone has a chance to score and be a hero while in football you might just be an extra human meatshield and in baseball if you're that dude squatting behind the batter all you do is catch the ball.
