The WNBA always seems to crave more attention.
Mission accomplished, albeit it without a dunk or fantastic play.
The Detroit Shock ó and assistant coach Rick Mahorn ó were involved in a skirmish with the Los Angeles Sparks, making the WNBA a hot topic on TV, sports-talk radio and blogs.
“A lot of people are paying attention to the WNBA right now that have probably never followed it,” Shock guard Katie Smith said Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press. “Is it the right kind of attention? No. But I don’t think the publicity hurts. In hockey, people live for the fights.”
