Quote of the Day: Richard Cohen
From the July 3rd WNBAlien column about the New York @ Phoenix game:
"There was a hilarious moment – as long as you’re not a Liberty fan – in the middle of the second quarter. [Diana] Taurasi didn’t have an angle to enter the ball to [Brittney] Griner in the post past Kara Braxton, so she looked up top instead and threw a small cross-court ball-fake. Despite the ball never leaving Taurasi’s hands, Braxton turned her head, and then her entire body, and then took a couple of steps away from Brittney freaking Griner on the low block. The same player New York were double-teaming every time she touched the ball within 10 feet of the basket. Taurasi simply tossed the ball in to Griner – probably barely managing to make the pass before she pissed herself laughing – and Griner had a desperately easy finish. Braxton turned around just in time to foul Griner as she completed the layup. Oh, Kara."
