Quote of the Day: Richard Cohen
Last summer I enjoyed reading Richard Cohen's writings about the WNBA over at SportsPageMagazine.com. I've been dropping by there regularly, but nothing of his was showing up. Today, thanks to Women's Hoops Blog, I found out why -- he has his own website now: WNBAlien. I quoted him a lot last summer, and I foresee that trend continuing.
This is from his June 12th post, discussing the Chicago Sky:
"It’s early days, but Sky fans have to have loved what they saw this weekend. The Vandersloot/Prince backcourt is starting to look like a nascent version of the Bird/Wright duo in Seattle to me, which is high-praise indeed. Obviously they don’t have the experience or the guile just yet, but Sloot has the smarts and skills to run the offense, and Prince has the more aggressive offensive game to complement her. They also both have the ballhandling and shooting abilities to allow them to switch point-guard and off-guard duties at times, just like Bird and Wright with the Storm. Watching that pair grow together in Chicago is going to be one of the primary joys of being a Sky fan in the coming years."
