Ezi created a defensive Storm

ONE of the great joys of having Seattle-based BOB CRAVEN as our US correspondent was the fact he often sent stories from the Seattle Times, Aussies such as Lauren Jackson through to Sami Whitcomb playing WNBA for the Storm. Here's one by Percy Allen on Ezi Magbegor from last month. 

WNBA: Lady Liberty has a title at last

THREE factors stood out today as New York clinched the WNBA championship over Minnesota in overtime of Game 5 - the league was desperate to accommodate a Liberty title, my theory of tech fouling coaches who allow flopping was vindicated, and going to a "best-of-7" probably isn't in women's basketball's best interests.

R.I.P. Bob's Corner but all the best 'Craves'

REGULAR visitors to my website here would have noticed the popular work of our erstwhile US correspondent BOB CRAVEN has been missing for a while now. Truth is Bob has experienced a significant change in his personal life and has been forced to hang up the keyboard, much to my and I am sure the dismay of the many who read him here.

If you love basketball, tune in to WNBA Game 5

THERE may have been a better WNBA Championship Series than the one Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty are currently providing, but it would take some time to remember which, this epic best-of-five series tied at 2-2 and with an Australian sure to finish it as a champion.

Patty Mills on song to be a Jazzman

AUSTRALIAN Boomers Paris Games captain Patty Mills has landed on his NBA feet, the five-time Olympian signing a new guaranteed one-year deal worth $US3.3million at Utah Jazz, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. A while back the Jazz had both Dante Exum and Joe Ingles on its roster.

Storm legend Lauren Jackson an Olympic inspiration

BOB'S BONUS: Our Seattle-based (and therefore Storm-friendly) US correspondent BOB CRAVEN dropped us a piece from "The Seattle Times" by Chris Kudialis which appeared last week during the height of the Olympics in Paris about our GOAT, Lauren Jackson and which we reprint here.

BOB'S STORM FRONT: Games settle on Seattle stars

BOB'S STORM FRONT: Two Seattle Storm WNBA players and a former Storm legend will from tomorrow trade Seattle's yellow and green uniforms for the classic green and gold of the Australian women's national team at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, reports our US correspondent BOB CRAVEN.

Patty Mills: Beyond Basketball - Updated, Upgraded, Out Now

Late run Boomers give USA a minor scare

IT REMAINS no less important today than it was yesterday to not get too carried away with Australia's 92-98 overnight loss to white-hot Olympic gold medal favourite USA in Abu Dhabi, although the work of Jock Landale and Jack McVeigh does warrant special mention.

Boomers face the latest US Redeem Team

IT WILL be difficult to resist reading too much into tonight's pre-Olympic warm-up clash between the Boomers and the USA in Abu Dhabi after the defending gold medal champions beat Canada 86-72 in an exhibition last week, the result a far cry from a Kevin Durant promise.
