On the recordSeptember 14, 2006
I stand to congratulate the Detroit Shock, the Women's National Basketball Association's champions for 2006, the second time they have won the title in 3 years; 12 outstanding women, who have come forth and persevered and won the championship one more time. Six of those women were on the world championship team of 2003. Congratulations to Coach Bill Laimbeer, Assistant Coach Rick Mahorn, as well as Cheryl Reeve. Most valuable player Deanna Nolan, congratulations for those jump shots and tenacity. You stand in history in the Women's National Basketball Association, as well as the National Basketball Association, as winners. Let women all over the world know that you can persevere in whatever you choose to be. Congratulations, Detroit Shock, 2006 Women's National Basketball Association winners. We love you. ____________________
