"New Storm Owners Know How To Make An Entrance"

The Times has a terrific piece today by Jerry Brewer on the reconstituted Seattle Storm:

Look at the star power on this roster: Griffith, Sue Bird, Lauren Jackson, Sheryl Swoopes, Swin Cash. It is a majestic lineup, and we haven't even mentioned accomplished veterans such as Janell Burse. Sure, Swoopes and Griffith are hoping for a little overtime in their careers, but on this team, they just have to be solid role players. ...

We're talking about some of the finest players and personalities in women's basketball history. We're talking about players who have helped build and maintain the WNBA. Critics will wonder whether the group can stay healthy and whether the stars can suppress their egos, but we're talking about players who have spent a lifetime trying to establish something bigger than them.

This isn't just the right way to relaunch the Storm. It's the only way.

I've been amazed at the talent that Brian Agler has managed to bring to the team these last two months (Sheryl Swoopes!), and I'm seriously tingling with the possibility that we'll do another championship run this year. The 2008 season is gonna be incredible.
