Sorry, I made an assumption that everyone would understand the reference.  You are right about Reggie, but his comment irked Thurman Munson and Yankee fans alike. Reggie was new to the Yankees and, up to that point, Munson was "the straw". That's why his words were unfortunate. Kia is the straw that stirs the Canadian team in my opinion. I'm not so sure they can win without her, at least against the better teams. I haven't seen the games but I suspect that, even when her shooting is off, she is still the hard-nosed Kia on defense that you, myself, and many others came to admire in her days at UCONN. She is determined to medal and I would love to see that happen for her. Maya will always be my favorite UCONN player of all time. Kia is right behind her, mostly because little was expected from her as a fresh recruit (at least on this board) but she fought hard to achieve, probably with less talent than most on the team, but never gave up....still hasn't. BTW, it seems that Raincock-Ekunwe was with the NY Liberty at one time. I wouldn't mind seeing her back there next year.
