Nika Confirms “Last Ride”

[Beemer]

You all know how much I love Nika. I'm going to miss her so much but she has decided it is time for her to move on. I'll be following her WNBA career for sure.

The Croatian Sensation. Nika The Gnat. The player who has never, ever fouled. The defender who has driven both her coach and her opponents crazy & sometimes at the same time. The guard who left it all on the court every game.

Yes, that's my girl!!! <3

Now will someone stop peeling those onions & hand me the kleenex!!!

Why am I not surprised?

Headed for the WNBA draft:
Anyone have a prediction as to when she might be selected...and/or a team that might
be a good fit?

I'm thinking late first to mid second round. She needs to go to a team that needs a pass-first defensive point guard. Most teams are set with PGs, but the Wings, Mystics, Lynx, Sky could certainly put her to good use. The Liberty might want her too, to spell Vandersloot and to bring some D off the bench. Sabrina is comfortable playing on or off the ball. Nika would put fannies in the seats in New York or Connecticut, although the Sun have a good backup for Moriah in Ty Harris.

Nika has gone so far beyond what I thought she would do it isn't even funny. I'll always remember the way she stalks the opposing guard like a raptor picking the time to strike.

And she seems like such a fun person off the court. [sigh]

It’s Geno’s car, and he got roped into being the co-star.

 

[Ozimoto]

She has certainly carved out a spot in UConn lore. What a wonderful career she has had as a husky.

Why am I not surprised?

Roped into it? There's nothing that Geno wouldn't do for Nika. The Huskies' trip to Croatia is exhibit A.

"Last Ride" happens to be one of my favorite albums of the current century. Sorry, couldn't resist given the thread title.
