Basketball legend Sheryl Swoopes was not going to be happy with either possible WNBA Finals outcome.
, no fans can deny that it was a thrilling five games that might go down as the most competitive and captivating championship series in the league's history.When Swoopes was asked how she felt about the Liberty winning the title on Sunday, she said, "Uhh... Like, I'm happy for them. But I never want New York to win anything. That's the competitor in me. When I played, it was like Comets and New York. So I never wanted them to win.
"But the other side is I'm glad they did because I also didn't want Minnesota to be the first team to win five ," Swoopes continued. "Because we had four, right? I don't need them to get five."Swoopes is referring to how her Houston Comets teams won four consecutive WNBA Championships in the league's first four seasons, from 1997-2000. Their arch rivals during that time were the New York Liberty.
