Quote of the Day: John Walters
Odds are good that Svetlana Abrosimova won't return to the Storm next season (she has national team obligations). Very sad. But here's a lovely little moment from the end of The Same River Twice:
In late April Geno [Auriemma] and Svetlana Abrosimova went to Secaucus, New Jersey, to attend the WNBA rookie draft. The Minnesota Lynx selected Sveta seventh overall, three slots behind Jackie Stiles and two behind Ruth Riley. When Sveta approached the interview podium, a WNBA official directed her to make on opening statement and then open the floor to questions.
"Hello!" said Sveta, wearing a smile that stretched from the Baltic Sea to the Bering Srait. "That is my opening statement. You can ask me questions now."
