Quote of the Day: Mechelle Voepel
From this article about the World Championships:
"The rivalry between the United States and Australia has been percolating for a while now, since Jackson became a force for the Aussies a decade ago, but Team USA has won every meeting between the two in either the Olympics or world championships.
Regardless, the Aussies are thought of as a serious threat. And because there are so many connections between the Aussie and American players who compete together in the WNBA, there are added subplots.
A couple of weeks ago, Sue Bird, Swin Cash, Jackson and Abby Bishop were celebrating as Seattle Storm teammates after winning the WNBA title. Now Bird and Cash are in red, white and blue, while Jackson and Bishop are in green and yellow.
This is old news to players who are used to turning various emotions on and off depending on what uniform they're wearing … and yet it remains fascinating to watch them do it."
