SEATTLE (AP) It’s hard not to look at the rosters for the WNBA All-Star Game, see the names and accomplishments associated with the West lineup, and not think Saturday’s showcase could be one-sided.
Even for those playing in the game.
”I’m like, `Is this the super All-Star team against the younger All-Star team?”’ Atlanta guard and first-time All-Star Layshia Clarendon said. ”I think they have the more seasoned talent, obviously the bigger names, legends in women’s basketball right now and we have the younger generation names. It’s cool that we’re getting to play against them.”
The WNBA has brought its midseason showcase to the Pacific Northwest for the first time and it’s probably appropriate the event is taking place out West where most of the league’s big-name stars play.
