Last night was the 15th anniversary of the first WNBA game held at Staples Center arena between the Los Angeles Sparks and the New York Liberty. It is a remarkable accomplishment that the league has stayed in existence for 15th season. When the league first started there were many critics thinking the league would only last 2 or 3 years. Great players like Rebecca Lobo and Lisa Leslie came back to be honored at halftime. They were two of many pioneers that started in the first game. The WNBA game is showcasing better quality with better players playing in the league. The attendance level has risen every year since the beginning. The league will only move further with this success of 15 years. In the game, LA Sparks did defeat the New York Liberty 96 to 91 with Candice Parker and Milton-Jones putting with a combined 48 points.
