We got NEXT! And you know this!!! I'm sure you're well aware why the WNBA is stealing a few headlines this week. Despite the knowledge of many, the league is still in existence, believe it or not. And it should come as no surprise that it took a damn near riot or in better terms a brawl, to shed a little publicity on the floundering league. One may think negative publicity is not what this league needs, but how can one argue with a glimpse of the limelight?
The most ironic aspect of this whole "melee" is the characters involved, the setting, the subplots and the outcome. I mean what are the odds? The worst two Professional Basketball Brawls in both Men's and Women's Hoops both took place at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Of course, the women kept it a little more under control for this go around. Just some clawing and nails and um, Rick Mahorn shoving Leroy Leslie. However, that stuff happens?right?
There was no Ron Artest or Stephen Jackson flying off the handle and striking utter fear for the well being of an entire arena. There was no Charles Haddad (or Turtle from Entourage) baiting members of the Sparks into a fight. Although, could you imagine the ramifications from his buddies if Leroy Leslie laid him out for the cameras ala Jermaine O'Neal ? circa 2005? Anyhow, this was Detroit and Los Angeles; a rivalry in and of itself. And we're talking Michael Cooper, Bill Laimbeer and Rick Mahorn all roaming the sidelines. Seriously, if you're missing the connection here?I can't help.
Yes, it's sad that Rick Mahorn who happened to play peacemaker during the original Palace brawl and was trying to do so for this one might get lumped with a negative reputation. However, that's just what the "Bad Boys" do?I kid. Apparently, these are two of the top teams in the league, but of course I wouldn't know that. The worst case scenario happened for the Shock who lost the estranged son daughter of Karl Malone, Cheryl Ford. Perhaps, this will hinder their Championship dreams and even worse, maybe this will hinder Detroit's claim as "Titletown, USA."
Either way, watch for yourself and one thing's always certain?don't fuck around in the "D." Guns and Knives?Detroit What? Argh, this is just fucking embarrassing. Deep Sigh.
