2006 WNBA All-Star Game
The WNBA's having its All-Star celebration in NY at Madison Square Garden....again for the 4th time in 8 years.
Why not just name Madison Square Garden as its official venue?
Anyway, I've thought long and hard about this year's game and who I'd like to see out there on the court for what is usually an anti-climactic free for all on the court and time well spent for the 21 and over off of it....which is why I'm not feeling this whole Wednesday night deal by the friggin way.
I'm not getting my hopes up since they screwed up the All-Decade Team, but here are my picks for the 2006 All-Stars:
East
Starters:
Alana Beard - Washington
Katie Douglas - Connecticut
Tamika Catchings - Indiana
Tamika Whitmore - Indiana
Cheryl Ford - Detroit
Bench:
Chasity Melvin - Washington
Candice Dupree - Chicago
Becky Hammon - New York
Nykesha Sales - Connecticut
Taj McWilliams-Franklin - Connecticut
And that's about it. I really can't find any other players I feel have played like All-Stars in the East this year except maybe the injured Delisha Milton-Jones and I guess you could throw in Deanna Nolan or Katie Smith and I wouldn't be mad. Thanks, New York and Charlotte. Thanks.
West
Starters:
Diana Taurasi - Phoenix
Cappie Pondexter - Phoenix
Seimone Augustus - Minnesota
Tina Thompson - Houston
Lisa Leslie - Los Angeles
Bench:
Vickie Johnson - San Antonio
Erin Buescher - Sacramento
Sheryl Swoopes - Houston
*Dominique Canty - Houston
Sophia Young - San Antonio
Lauren Jackson - Seattle
And add either Michelle Snow or Chamique Holdsclaw...Mique would have easily been on my list had she not missed half of the first half of the season. But I guess you can add them both since Canty is hurt.
