Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2814211, member: 5798"] One last observation of Liz Cambage. Some of the things she's said were not received well. To some, she came off as boorish, sarcastic and selfish. Qualities that will not blend at all with play in the W. Off the court, she says they she is a complete "sweet heart", and in her mind she's a good teammate. We must remember that she is not from the US. Growing up in Australia, she has a different outlook and values than players grown in the US. She has spent the last 5 years playing in the Euro Leagues, and was happy. She was recruited heavily to come back and play in the W by Fred Williams and the Wings. She has viewed and experienced playing professional basketball through a completely different lens than US fans or players do. [B]I'm not excusing her detrimental behavior of late. That is unacceptable. [/B]I'm just saying that I can understand her falling out of love with the W, and longing to return home, and the Euro Leagues, where the money is infinitely better, and the play is not as rough.

If you want the best out of us, you can’t treat us like that. If you want this game to be at the top level, you have to treat your players like they’re top level.”[/I][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
