Within five minutes, I realized why the NBA was so good back then and so lousy right now. The Celtics had perfect spacing in their half-court set. They could execute a flawless fast break using six passes and never putting the ball on the floor. They actually attempted, and made, mid-range jumpers. You can still see that kind of basketball right now.
Pro women play it.
Pro men don't. And with this draft class, you're going to see the same fundamentals that make the WNBA special while getting a little more flash. They have skill that will dazzle you, but they won't throw the ball out of bounds five times attempting to make a highlight film, a la Sacramento's Jason Williams. They have game. And I hope people realize how special the WNBA can be.
