Several years ago my friends gave me a pair of tickets to the Monarchs vs Sparks game for my B-Day, knowing that Lisa Leslie was one of my favorite players. I took my son. At the end of the game the only person left on the court at a Sacramento game was Lisa Leslie signing autographs for the fans. For my B-Day my son went down there (him being 6'2 at the time (now 6'5) towered over the others) held out the ticket and Lisa autographed it for him to give back to me. What a great memory.<br /><br />BjUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07979223633216356265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987304731928669714.post-45722572855351802522009-09-20T11:26:54.776-07:002009-09-20T11:26:54.776-07:00I'm glad to hear that!I'm glad to hear that!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13963395707570608596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987304731928669714.post-48891611667755991242009-09-17T07:10:28.637-07:002009-09-17T07:10:28.637-07:00Yeah, I think we're spoiled here in Los Angele...Yeah, I think we're spoiled here in Los Angeles - the Sparks playoff game was on very big screens in bars last night!Apryl DeLanceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529934915334202033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987304731928669714.post-57270989747260605552009-09-17T07:05:33.689-07:002009-09-17T07:05:33.689-07:00I've been thinking about this a lot lately, so...I've been thinking about this a lot lately, so I was thrilled to see this post. <br /><br />Several times, I've been at a bar and the WNBA will be playing on some small screen in the corner. Just a few weeks ago, a guy I was with kept commenting on how pathetic the players were and how the WNBA is going broke and how low scoring it is. I don't even know what to say to comments like these.<br /><br />I love women's basketball, and this just makes me want to support the WNBA more (cuz I don't do a very good job).<br /><br />1. Never been to one. Watched several on TV. I need to get to a Lynx game...<br /><br />2. No.<br /><br />3. No.<br /><br />4. Of course!<br /><br />5. I just need to make time for watching it, and tell people that's what I'll be doing.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13963395707570608596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987304731928669714.post-40529098925192436162009-09-14T18:02:29.568-07:002009-09-14T18:02:29.568-07:00Sometimes, people just flat out don't like a s...Sometimes, people just flat out don't like a sport. I totally get that.<br /><br />There are actually a few sports I can't handle watching myself. Those would be NASCAR, arena football, and anything equestrian. Just about anything else works for me: lawn bowling, NFL, tennis, croquet, surfing, golf, whatever!Apryl DeLanceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529934915334202033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987304731928669714.post-67218865962566925332009-09-14T17:57:57.065-07:002009-09-14T17:57:57.065-07:001.

I do not care for women basketball at any level. I can seriously get behind ladies baseball, softball, soccer, golf, swimming, lacrosse, volley ball and most others. <br /><br />That being said. I can watch Connecticut and Tennessee play women's basketball, because they are that good and play as a team. That gets lost in the pro game.Vince Spencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10761454912786879102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987304731928669714.post-75854726043782873522009-09-14T16:51:55.389-07:002009-09-14T16:51:55.389-07:00Oh, and thanks for stopping by to answer!Oh, and thanks for stopping by to answer!Apryl DeLanceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529934915334202033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987304731928669714.post-25767244664448891742009-09-14T16:50:49.738-07:002009-09-14T16:50:49.738-07:00Well...I can't honestly say that basketball is...Well...I can't honestly say that basketball is my favorite sport. I just noticed a greater proportion of children and families than other sporting events. I have been to Redskins, Buccaneers, Lightning, Rays, Dodgers, 49ers, Rams, Raiders, Lakers, Magic, Clippers, Kings, and various other sporting events and don't remember seeing so many except for when I was a kid and saw the Harlem Globetrotters here in Los Angeles. Maybe I have just been to too many night Dodgers games lately?<br /><br />If you pinned me down and asked me what my favorite sport was it would be a really, really hard choice. I love all sports.Apryl DeLanceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529934915334202033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987304731928669714.post-84900565659899266342009-09-14T15:30:37.092-07:002009-09-14T15:30:37.092-07:00Ok, 5 answers...

The closest are the Charlotte Bobcats (basketball), the Carolina Panthers (football), and the Carolina Hurricanes (hockey), all about 2 hours' distant.<br /><br />2) Yep, although I tend to think mainly in terms of her Olympic career. As Darth Vader once said, "Impressive... very impresive."<br /><br />3) Lots of big-namers didn't show for MJ. They all say nice things about each other, but I don't think the competitive aspect ever dies for some of the pros.<br /><br />4) No offense, but ALL sports fans say that about their favorite sport. I don't disagree with you; I'm just pointing out the obvious.<br /><br />5) To be honest, I don't watch the WNBA for the same reason I don't watch the NBA... I'm just not a huge basketball fan. I watch college ball once it gets to March Madness, and that's about it.<br /><br />So how'd I do? If I don't pass, that's ok; just please don't send another progress report to my parents!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11719298227225074496noreply@blogger.com
