Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 Detroit Shock defeat the Los Angeles Sparks 83-78, becoming only the third different franchise in the league's history to win the WNBA championship. They also become the first team in American major pro sports to go from dead last in the league to the championship the following season. Ruth Riley is the Finals MVP. I'm a Monarchs fan myself, but an LA loss is the next best thing to a Monarchs win! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ISportsFan 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 Does anyone besides me care? No, I believe you are actually the only one that watched it. I didn't even know that their championship was going on. And it's only a 3-game series? Bah. Jason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 Meh. There's more going on than football and baseball. And, seeing as how there were 22000 in the house, I doubt very much that I was the only one watching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't give a crap about the WNBA, but if one team has to win it, let it be the one that Bill coaches. (Isn't Karl Malone's daughter on his team?) I still have my Pistons jersey #40 from back when I was in 7th grade... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sykotic2002 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 I wonder if Karl Malone ever thought his daughter would beat him to the Championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheArchiteck Report post Posted September 17, 2003 Nah, I watched the game. It was a nailbiter for sure..... Just seeing a Detroit team win a championship is good enough for me. Anyways, congrats to the girls, they played hard....they got coached hard and they got rewarded for it. Wonder if they are going to get a parade, have it go on right in front of Comerica Park while the Tigers are playing. BTW, its a damn shame that the Sparks cried less than the Lakers.
