The greatest shot in WNBA Finals history needs a deep rewind

Спорт

The WNBA began with a dynasty. The Houston Comets' hand-picked, star-studded roster immediately took over the league, winning the first two championships with ease.
In 1999, following the heartrending loss of a beloved teammate, Houston appeared on pace to do it yet again. But with seconds remaining in a surprisingly close Game 2, the New York Liberty's Teresa Weatherspoon had one shot -- one halfcourt prayer -- to at least delay the three-peat.
Welcome to a moment in history.

    I love the comments talking about how a last second buzzer beater from half court doesn't qualify for a rewinder video. It obviously does, because its a pivotal moment in sports history, is extremely dramatic(as buzzer beater shots tend to be), AND, while not an absolute requirement for a rewinder, it a moment a lot of us, myself included, haven't seen before. People can be as salty as they want in the comments, but as long as the stories are actually interesting(like this one)...keep 'em coming.

When you have to go play in Russia during the off-season because your league won't pay you enough and you're still willing to yank a lady's ponytail off, you've gone beyond love of the game.

You had more commercials on tv, a lot of the games were nationally televised, the names in the league were already established stars grouped with up and comers. Collegiate womens basketball now has not only been poorly marketed, but so dominated by one team that its difficult to find a number of talent. Add to that the small markets that some of these teams are in and you get a league that is seemingly holding on via big brothers money.

    I was a Houston Comets fan from the beginning and in 1999 i was starting my first year of college out of state when this game took place. I recorded the game on my roommate's VCR and watched it back without spoilers (though my roommate did make some vague ominous comment beforehand). While the loss was shocking, looking back I give credit to T-Spoon for playing until the buzzer sounded and creating a lasting image for the ages. Weatherspoon asked the Comets Big 3 to present her in the Hall of fame a few years ago which says a lot about the love and respect they have for each other. Great thorough history of this moment by you guys and thank you so much for continuing to highlight women's basketball!

    It's not that odd knowing how the NBA originally got started. For the first 20 or so years of the league, there was something called the territorial draft, where team could claim first dibs on players in their market. The Comets also got lucky in that Tina Thompson 1) had an outside shot and 2) was willing to play proto-Chris Bosh to the established vets. While Tina Thompson wasn't obviously a bum, no one foresaw how players could fit together outside of a college context. USC wasn't at its peak at the time, so only the cognoscenti could have seen that coming.

    That truly was one amazing, remarkable shot like you'll hardly ever see, which you never would have believed would have possibly gone in. That being even if it was kind of quickly forgotten, due to it only delaying the inevitable, and sadly didn't result in a championship for the Liberty when the Comets regrouped, and won Game #3 with ease. This was also when the WNBA was sort of an interesting novelty which was worth a look, and had some fun players to watch. The fact that the crowds at these games had a sold out, NBA type atmosphere really spoke volume too, even if many fans soon began to lose interest in it not too long afterwards it seemed though.
