2008 WNBA Most Improved Player

No surprise, I suppose... I know she's been in the league for a minute, but I'm somewhat disappointed that Penicheiro didn't at least get a vote...

Nice

Okay I think it is awesome that Ticha and Bekkah made the team,
But How does Big Syl make the all Defensive team and she hasn't even played 20 games? 17 to be exact.

Some how it is just wrong that a player that played 1/2 the season can make the all-defensive team.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

It appears as though they selected by position; I can't think of a 5 off the top of my head that's more deserving of the spot than GodSylla.

 

[Arby's Roast Beef]

I remember Bevilaqua--I'm not surprised to see her on the Defensive Team list at all. She really gets on her opponent's grill despite being a smaller "PG." She's averaged at least 1.6 spg over the past four years--impressive. An example that work ethic can more than make up for physical tools.

 

[6th]

Yay! 1st team for Ticha and 2nd team for Bekkah. Can't complain a bit. WTG - Monarchs!!

 

[NothinButHoops]

Welcome to the elite list of top defensive players...
You both have made the fans of SacTown & fans around the globe very proud!

Congrats...TP21 & BRUNSON.....!

Congratulations Ticha and B..!!

Get well soon B, she's due to have a season without stress fractures, and become a regular for this accolade for the remainder of her career.

This has been a fabulous year for Captain Penicheiro, may her season get extended a little bit longer....

Big congrats to Ticha and Bekkah!

2008 Sixth Woman of the Year

Given that ROY is probably a foregone conclusion, this seems like an adequate consolation prize. Reminds me of the year that Gordon was 6MOY, when everybody already knew that Okafor was going to get ROY.
