Message: [QUOTE="huskyd, post: 5326538, member: 6488"] The team plays in Israel where the game is very popular. The name of the team translates to "The First Workers in Zion," which references the early days of the State. Rishon Lezion ("First in Zion") is a city after which the team is named. The games are pretty well coached and played. Christyn may get enough exposure to interest WNBA teams. She is also likely to be better paid over there than in our parsimonious leagues. I'm guessing. Several Israeli women ballers have been drafted by US colleges. Working and living in the Holy Land will be very exciting for Williams. We wish her well. [/QUOTE]
