The ultimate would be to compete in a couple more Olympics, hopefully break some world records and wind up my sports career with a couple of years in the WNBA.
- Marion JonesI`m glad you`re doing this story on us and not on the WNBA. We`re so much prettier than all the other women in sports.
- Martina HingisIt`s definitely a surreal feeling. There are a lot of teams in the WNBA that just said, `Whew, Seattle lost!` '“ I can tell you that much. That`s what makes this hurt '“ we had an opportunity to do some great things and defend our title but we didn`t.
- Sue BirdI don`t think the WNBA is going to disappear from the sports landscape anytime soon. It`s likely to keep chugging along. It`s never going to be part of the mainstream in pro sports leagues, but it can find its place as long as expectations don`t get too high.
- David CarterThere`s a lot of women in the WNBA. There`s a lot of women who could be here. To be voted by the fans says a lot - that people are aware of what`s going on. I`m really thankful. I think they just really appreciate my talent so I`m definitely grateful.
- Lisa LeslieAlready, this has been an incredible season. This is the most wins I`ve ever had playing on any WNBA team. My kids start kindergarten, actually in a few weeks. So it`s all about them now. It`s their time now.
- Natalie WilliamsThe sport is still growing and there`s only upside for female fighters. The examples of the LPGA, the women`s tennis tour and the WNBA indicate that the time is right for women in the sports world. Female boxers don`t have the benefit of a tie-in with the male sport like the tennis tour, which plays at the same major tournament venues as the men, and certainly not like the WNBA, which is directly subsidized by the NBA. But, there`s no question in my mind, this is the time for women in the ring.
- Jackie KallenIt`s going to be an exciting team. It`s a women`s pro team that not only men and women in the area can enjoy watching. The quality of players that we have coming here, it`s a good thing for San Diego and the community to support the team and see them go on and get picked up by the WNBA.
- Fred WilliamsThere`s lots of charity stuff that I can do. There are actually a million things to do here, but it would be very hard for me to stop going overseas, because I`ve been doing that for longer than I`ve been playing in the WNBA.
- Andres ArayaThere`s a lot of room to grow, and the women who believe they`re worth it are the ones who are going to make good things happen during the next period of WNBA growth.
- Andres ArayaThis is another great day in the history of Storm basketball, ... One year removed from a WNBA championship and on the verge of our second-consecutive playoff berth, I`m pleased to announce our renewed commitment to Coach Donovan. With Anne`s leadership, the Storm won a Championship in two years and we look forward to continued success with her at the helm.
