surely the aust media must run with this - Liz has been a breath of fresh air in the states.
herald sun must do a story on this coming from their home state !
Great news for Australian basketball, but let's look at the facts here :
How does a player who comes off the bench in the team with the worst record in the league (1-14) be even allowed to make the All Star team ?
Big time farce, but I guess Cambage has just done a Steven Bradbury

Well done Anon Tall Poppy. Do some research first about how players are selected and in particular how Cambage was selected in the team. Refer below
"WNBA All-Star starting fives are fan voted, with reserves being selected by the panel of 12 WNBA coaches. However, replacement players are hand chosen by WNBA President Laurel J. Richie, who gives the rare opportunity to players she feels are most deserving.
After only 14 games of action this season, Cambage has done enough to impress Richie, who announced her inclusion earlier this morning.
Cambage is currently averaging 13.6 points per game, third among all rookies this season, as well as 5.3 rebounds per game, which is first among rookie players. Her 1.2 blocks per game average is also a League best average among first-year players, and she ranks third in steals in this group also, with 1.3 steals per game, a rare stat for a player of Cambage's size."
Obviously the president of the WNBA is more impressed with Cambage than Anonymous, but what would WNBA President Laurel J. Richie know about the WNBA anyway.

Playing a backup 11:16 minutes to West Conf Rebekkah Brunson, Cambage scores 13 points with 4 rebounds and 2 steals to be equal 3rd highest scorer for her team. Not too shabby for a "Steven Bradbury" Anon. Penny Taylor scored 11 points
half time entertainment

1 block as well - she had most of those figures in about 8 minutes that she played in the first half - was heading towards match mvp in first half
