And One 50? That's amazing. I couldn't have done this when I was 20. -
ethanator1088 This lends a lot to the credit of the WNBA.-
ethanator1088 That was rude. I am sorry. Let's just say that Julio Franco said that. :-)-
FlyMaster I thought it was Morten Andersen who said that. -
And One Unworthy of you, EJ. Apology gratefully accepted. :)-
ethanator1088 Well, It was more of a shot at any "sport" where 50 year old athletes play. Julio Franco is the best example I can think of. He was in his late 40's and was in better shape than most kids joining the bigs.
Nancy Lieberman must be in crazy good shape. We all know she has the talent. I hope she does well. Maybe her basketball IQ will carry her.
