FIBA
Due to my (awesome) vacation, I'm still catching up on the World Championships.
The U.S. won (hooray!) and the U.S. played Australia in a game that always had at least one Storm player on the court (hooray!), but they did not play Russia (boo!) and when they played the Czech Republic, Jana Vesala was injured at the beginning of the game and wasn't able to play (boo!).
Storm coach Brian Agler went to a bunch of the games, here's his thoughts.
This article was written at the start of the tournament. Apparently Svetlana Abrosimova used to hate Lauren Jackson!
This article is from after the U.S. won. Guess what? Only six players have won a NCAA, WNBA, Olympic and world championship. Guess what else? Two of them are Sue Bird and Swin Cash.
In worrying news, the coach of the Australian team wants Lauren Jackson (and all the other Australian players) to skip the WNBA in 2012 so they can prepare for the London Olympics. I know that LJ left early in 2008 to train with her team, but the entire season?!?! Eek!
Update: Jayda Evans thinks that the Australian coach wants LJ to skip the 2011 season. I thought she had a contract, though.
