Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 3253516, member: 7748"] In another thread a BYer speculated that I'm an AO fan. Actually I tend to be fan of teams rather than individual players and my favorite teams are the ASU Sun Devils the UConn Huskies and Phoenix Mercury. If I had to pick players that I'm a fan of it would include DT, Stewie, Gabby, Kia, Robbie Ryan, and Jamie Ruden. Like most of us on the boneyard I found AOs cheap shot on Crystal very upsetting and a reflection on both her character and the coaching that she receives. With all that said I feel good about observing that she is one of the top three rookies this year in a rookie class that seems to my memory unparalleled in recent WNBA history. So recognizing her achievements in the context of a discussion of rookie of the year I don't think makes me a fan of hers. There have been any number of sports figures who I have admired for their performance but not for their character or the depth of their commitment to their team. [/QUOTE]
