If the WNBA fight wasn't enough . . . the repercussions just might be enough to do you in for good.
"50 year old Nancy Lieberman made a one-time only appearance in the Shock's first game since Tuesday night's bench-clearing melee with the Los Angeles Sparks.
Five Shock players were suspended and Cheryl Ford sustained a season-ending injury, prompting coach Bill Laimbeer to offer Lieberman a seven-day contract."
Although the thought of playing against a 50 year old woman does make me laugh, she has actually had a very impressive career and can still throw a decent no look pass.

I'm just glad that the US Olympic Men's team finally has a televised game on tonight vs. Canada (ESPN 8pm east) so I can actually watch some GOOD basketball.

Ain't nothing, Cousy played at 49...
Luckily for her -- there's absolutely zero drop off in athleticism between a 50-year-old Lieberman and a WNBA player in the prime of her career.
