Quote of the Day: Ashley Robinson
From Ashley Robinson's exit interview:
Jayda Evans: What was it like to be part of Tina [Thompson]’s final WNBA season?
Robinson: I’m so proud of the Storm, the way they sent off Tina. She retired with grace just being who she is — Tina Thompson. Tina has meant so much to our league, I was just happy to be part of that. Being from Texas, I was in high school when she was winning all of her championships with the [Houston] Comets. It was cool to get to be in the same locker room as her and take in what she brings to the game. It gets deep with Tina when it comes to the WNBA because all of us started with watching her.
In other Storm news, Sue Bird played her first game over in Russia. According to the box score, she played 25 minutes, scored 16 points (including 4-5 from three), and had 6 assists. Sounds like a good start!
