Detroit Shock Sign 50 Year-Old to Contract

My first impression was, oh, they brought her in as a coach. Nope, following the WNBA Brawl and the 10 player suspensions, the Detroit Shock announced the signing of 50 year-old Nancy Lieberman to a 7 -day PLAYER'S contract. I can't make this stuff up.

bet she'd whoop your butt. ;-p
lol!

Nah, I got game! LOL.

I'd love to see the two of you go one-on-one. You should put that together as a Yard exclusive.

Great idea, O. Is this woman anyone's grandma? Does anyone know her?

I would pay good money to see that.

Yeah...make it happen and play with a heavy lopsided ball and peach baskets. The way Dr. Naismith intended. That give Lieberman a chance because it reminds her of when she first started playing one on one with John Wooden.

hot flashes on the court?.............whoa!

WOW the WNBA has hit new lows. Maybe they should sign JUWANAMAN or Barry Bonds next. BB got some sweet low post moves

what difference does it make who they sign? they just need a player to fill out the roster, she's not going to play.

Reports are saying that she will be playing tonight - "coincidentally" the game will be on ESPN2.

Its cool her Great-Grandchildren will get to see her play!

wnba = joke



and a pretty funny one 2!

Hopefully, there won't be a brawl or she may break her hip. Osteoporosis is a mutha!

shes a hall of famer but coming back at 50 kind of ruins her legacy

She played tonight and had 2 turnovers i think.

When she shoots freethrows are they granny shots?

hahahaha

I watched this last night. She had 2 assists. She made 2 attempts to make a basket and at least hit the board. She was NOT the last person up the court. She did ok defensively. All in all, she did pretty good for lady at the half century mark. It would be ridiculous to expect her to play at a 20 year olds level. I am sure she could outplay many in their late 30's.....

Yeah, she didn't look like a scrub. But, I still wished it never happen
