Catchings' biggest career rebound
Story Link
SI.com: So who is going to be the toughest to stop?
Catchings: Obviously, Lauren Jackson is the person that everyone keys on. I think Russia, Australia and even Brazil -- those will be the toughest teams that we have to face. What I keep saying is that countries have been training since the '04 Olympics to beat the Americans and win a gold medal, and the competition is a lot higher than it was then and obviously higher in '04 than it was in 2000.

A Conversation with Sue Bird
Story Link
"...You want to guarantee a gold medal right now?
I'm not much of the guaranteeing kind. The last time I was on a team where something was guaranteed was in college and it didn't work out. Ever since then, I'm ixnay on the guarantee-ay.
You'll be playing on a team that everyone in the world outside of the United States wants to see lose. What's that like?
It's interesting. I remember when we lost in Brazil at the 2006 World Championships. We were playing against Russia and by the time they had taken a lead and the game was kind of over, I looked around the gym and you had Brazilians, Lithuanians, Czechs, everybody in that gym was chanting for Russia. It was crazy. On the one hand I'm like, "Damn, why they gotta be like that toward us?" On the other side, it does make it more exciting and a challenge, and more fun when we do win..."

SI.com: So what was your reaction when you found out you were on the Olympic team?
Taurasi: It was definitely exciting. It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing whenever you get an opportunity to play for your country.

Defense could be key for U.S. women's success in Beijing
Story Link
There was a time when the U.S. women's basketball team could simply show up at the Olympics and outscore anyone. Now, winning another gold medal might hinge on getting one key stop.

Storm point guard Sue Bird ready to lead Team USA
Story Link
When Storm star Sue Bird began playing basketball on the neighborhood courts in Syosset, N.Y., there wasn't a visible professional women's league like the WNBA. The Olympics were her dream.
Once she traveled to Philadelphia to see the women's Dream Team play against China during its 52-game tour, she was sold on reaching that level.

Versatile post players are strength of US team
Story Link
“One through five, this might be the most versatile post team in a long time,” center Lisa Leslie said. “Players who can shoot from the outside and the inside. Everyone is going to have an opportunity. It’s like an orchestra, everyone plays a different instrument and at some point you will have a solo.”
