QUOTE:The Shock signed 50-year-old Nancy Lieberman, a Hall of Famer and one of their former coaches, to a seven-day contract on Thursday and she expected to play only that night in Houston.
She became the oldest player in WNBA history at 39 while playing for the Phoenix Mercury in 1997, the league's inaugural season.
Shock coach Bill Laimbeer says Lieberman, an ESPN analyst, was impressive during drills during last year's WNBA All-Star Game.
"This is not a gimmick," Laimbeer insisted. "I talked to her last year about this and again two weeks ago. This opportunity probably would've happened if we didn't have the incident the other night."
This is such a joke. If this happened in the NBA the player would get destroyed and the team signing him would be a disgrace and a laughingstock of the whole league.
u do know that she is a hall of famer and probably the best woman player to ever play the game other than maybe Cheryl Miller...
I'm pretty sure if Jordan expressed interest at 50 yrs old to play for an NBA team and he looked "impressive during drills" that most NBA teams would do the same thing
dude, jordan was still a top 5 player with the wizards. if you disagree, then surely you'll at least concede that he was top 10. he could start for most teams at age 50 for at least 1/3 of a season i'm sure.
Cheryl Miller didn't even play for the WNBA and Nancy Lieberman has been a basketball icon since her high school days...soooo why would I need to follow the WNBA to know about them??
So because you're 20 its ok to be an ignorant joke. You act like if you havent seen them on ESPN they arent good or they dont exist. I guess ignorance really is bliss, if you're too stupid to know you're stupid then you just live life happily.
WNBA is a joke

Jordan is the freaking man but did you just really say that? The guy was not even THAT great when he went to the Wizards.
Cheryl Miller once scored 109 points in a game.
if she looks impressive , let her play, the WNBA really isn't exciting to watch...just let her play.
its like CGS.
fixed.
