[Nicole Powell has a Message For Team Sacramento] In a live chat on WNBA.com on Thursday, recently signed Los Angeles Sparks point guard Ticha Penicheiro said that she was excited to be in Dallas for All-Star weekend because of "the opportunity to spread the message of the WNBA and what we do on and off the court."
However, the message has different meanings for McCoughtry and Nicole Powell. Nicole Powell is in the particularly awkward position of representing a franchise that no longer exists. While this may seem to be a public relations faux pas to some, Powell put a positive spin on a tough situation.
"I really didn’t find out until the last minute with the schedule because I wasn’t sure if I would be able to get away from my Turkish team for the weekend but it worked out," said Powell about whether it is strange to represent a team that has folded. "It’s kind of a tough situation, but at the same time the Sacramento organization was such a great thing for the WNBA -- we had such wonderful fans there. So I actually think it’s kinda cool that they’re still including someone to represent the Sacramento Monarchs despite that I’m playing for the Liberty now. And just kind of represent that team and that organization. We had a great run for ten years there. So I hope Monarchs fans will be watching."
For Nicole Powell, that is the message – that the league not only exists despite criticism, but is still growing despite challenges.
"That’s kind of what I was referring to a second go, talking about the Haier shooting competition and having the women included," said Nicole Powell. "The team that Sacramento had has folded, but the WNBA is still going strong and we’ve got some great young players and talented players. And the NCAA women’s basketball is growing every single year as well. So I think that’s just been an added boost to the professional level."
