The 2008 WNBA Season Preview: Expect Great?

Posted 5/17/2008 on The Arena

Sure, it’s easy to make fun of commercials like this , even if Candace Parker’s among the most physically stunning human beings to ever pick up a basketball. But maybe, just maybe, you can expect this WNBA to…well, not grate. And because I’ve got a soft spot for women’s basketball, I wrote a season preview.
