The Boston Globe’s Bob Ryan on the WNBA.
I mentioned to Laimbeer that I have always enjoyed women’s basketball at the Olympics, and he said, “This is nothing like the Olympics.” I thought about it, and I realized that in the international game you have the USA, Brazil, Australia and Russia as the chalk and pretty much everyone else a hundred miles behind. Here in the WNBA there is the greatest concentration of women’s talent to be found anywhere in the world. Brazil, Australia and Russia can get up a very good 12-woman team to give the USA a go, but we’ve got 12 more great ones beyond our first 12 and 12 more behind them and 12 more behind them, and so on. And they’re all in the WNBA.
