y'all rock. you (michelle) know i only watch basketball for the ladies, but y'all have got me so interested, i might have to pay attention to the "fundamentals."

love it!

miss the life-size cutout.

wow i am suddenly a womens basketball fan wonder where the GIRLS pro or semi pro teams are playing near me. You just gave me an new incentive to get more active. omg.

wow wow wow..so hot. 

 I want to add something, you need to make you VLOG more VISUAL. Right now it is new so we are excited. And really I was only excited by the girl with the Yummy Arms..wow. Wrap those around me pleassssse.

 you need to insert photos of players when you mention their name...cuz just talking will grow old fast..like its already old.

 PHOTOS PHOTOS or clips but i know copyright probably won't allow clips so at least photos cuz many of us have no idea who the heck you are talking about and it is just blablahbla

A great concept, but needs tweeking.

You make me wish i could actually watch WNBA games, just so i would know who you're talking about :P

Congrats on the first episode, i thought it was awesome :)

I'm really excited about this vlog! I've been a WNBA fan from the beginning but since the Starzz went away (I live in Utah)  it's really hard to get in the know about what's going on around here. I must say you guys said nothing about my Liberty though...Oh well there's always next week!  But great job anyways and can't wait til next week :)

LOVED THE VLOG! I HAVE TO SAY I LIKE SEATTLE BUT MY HEART HAS TO GO TO THE MERCURY. DIANA AND CAPPIE ALL DAY!

Sorry we beat your ladies last night! Sue played an outstanding game though and looked good doing it! It was a FANTASTIC game!

GO SILVER STARS!!!

AND GO BECKY HAMMON!! Hit her 3000th point to start the game last night!!

What a nice, pre-game treat (Shock vs. Mercury at 3:30 EST on ABC)! I have to give some props to Sylvia Fowles for her block of Lisa Leslie last week. It's in the top 10 plays video. Talk about fundamentals - I only wish I'd been at the game to see Lisa's reaction. Gorgeous. (I meant the block, but Lisa is, too, of course.)

Congrats on the Vlog – so happy to have more WBB representation here.

You should talk about Becky Hammon and her decision to play for Russia for the Olympics... what's up with that? She doesn't speak Russian, isn't Russian, etc.

AND YAY, MINNESOTA! I'm loving the Lynx this year. And Lindsay Whalen? Haha, Minnesota-grown. Love it. =]

it's not the mainstream sports news media . This is so  refreshing to see womyn recapping womyn's basketball. I'm glad Michelle and Becca that you bowed down to original players of WNBA. I remember taping the whole WNBA speacial and sports games  back in 96 (I was overwhelmed and and extremely happy  Womyn finally got accepted into Pro-Ball). Lately, I've been out of thel oop some. New names I'm not familiar with but a few from few years rookies like Sue abd Diana T I'm familiar with. Good job so far ladies. Storm got Swoopes ,hmm. Then I guess I have to keep up with the Storms more often.   However, I'll never ever will forget the original  WNBA players though.  This vblog gives the push to keep with WNBA players of 2008.

I would like to see more fans being interviewd too. (A great idea)

Michelle, I agree with you that Dawn Staley is one of the best women's basketball players of all time. However, my favorite is Andrea Lloyd since I went to school with her before her basketball career took off. It was amazing to watch Andrea's career with the Texas Longhorns at UT, then watch her on the Olympic team.

Becca and Michelle, thank you so much for this vlog! You guys know your stuff. It was great seeing you two at the Storm vs. Mercury game on the 11th. Sarah and I are hoping to make the Seattle Storm vs Sacramento Monarchs on July 27th at Key arena. If we can get there, let's meet up again at the half and after the game!

Thanks again you two for vlogging and bringing us your perspective on the WNBA!

So glad we have a WNBA vlog on here now!  I live in the DC Metro Area but haven't had the time to keep up with the Mystics so here's a question to the girls: how's the team looking? 

I know you are Storm fans, but watch out for Indiana! They lost tonight to the Silver Stars, but are a team to watch! On June 20th, they visit you're team! I hope to hear all about it on your vlog that week!

Thanks!

Congrats on the vlog ladies. It's a great addition to AfterEllen.

Michelle I told you CT SUNS are going to take the championship this season. #1 in the WNBA ! Don't hate, Don't hate. The Storm is cool, and they have an amazing roster, but it's all about the SUN this season. :o)

BTW: Dawn Staley is the best of all time (IMHO). I've been a fan since she was with the ABL (I miss that league).

Thanks for the great vlog ladies, looking forward to next week.

wow, really great vlog, i can now follow womens basketball a hell of a lot easier now, it's so hard finding it on UK TV.

cant wait for next week!

I love this vlog.

I am a diehard, Seattle Storm fan!!!!!!!!!  I really wish that women sports could get as much attention as men sports. All we need now is a Vlog that cover women's football (soccer).

That cubicle looks exactly like my old office workspace in Seattle: with the eraserboard and the plants on the window sill. You wouldn't happen to make a living "saving the world" now , would you?

Hey congrats for the vblog! We don't have much women's basket but lots of volleyball, so that means I have to start watching some games and support your vlog! Bien hecho! :-)

Any san antonio or becky hammon or any other silver stars players fans come check out this mb if you haven't already

Great vlog :-)

I'm a big sports fan, but never have gotten much into basketball, but I see that now changing.

 I'd love to see you all talk about the issue with Becky Hammon playing for Russia.  I heard that one guy called her a "traitor," which seems pretty harsh to me...it's not as if she's selling govt secrets to North Korea.  From what I know about it, it sounds like she wants to "give back" to Russia for what they've done for her (I heard she inked a four year deal there).  The thing that gets me, is it's not like she was going to make the US team...so it's not as if she decided to NOT play for America and play for Russia instead, but she knew that she wasn't going to make the US team again, so decided to play for Russia (and she does have dula citizenship).

 Anyway...great vlog...keep up the good work :-) 

Awesome vlog! I love basketball too much so its good to hear about it even if I cant keep up with it. Basketball isnt very popular here even in the mens division so unfortunately its not on tv here! So this vlog rocks! Look forward to the next episode
