The marquee player allotted to the Houston Comets, a Texas girl named Sheryl Swoopes, announced she would be sidelined as she was pregnant with her first child. The writers, or those few who decided to cover the fledgling WNBA, predicted the Comets to finish last in the Eastern Conference under a old southern gentleman named Van Chancellor. The Houston Comets just kept on winning. Cooper is a star.
Swoopes is a mother and a terror on the court.
Chancellor is the three-time Coach of the Year. And the Comets haven't let go of that Championship trophy yet. It's very exciting. It's kind of like a dynasty - like the Chicago Bulls. I'm sure a lot of people didn't want it to happen, but the Comets stuck it out and I would say they played with a lot of emotions.
