She's a starter on the Connecticut Sun in the WNBA. They're currently in playoffs and she scored 17 points in the sweep game tonight to help her team reach the WNBA Finals for the first time since 2005! I don't think we have any WNBA Champions in our history, do we?

She's come into her own now, very comfortable in the game and after the game during interviews. Happy for her, she's a legit star in the league.

If her team wins the title does she have a shot at MVP?

Don't know if they gave an MVP for that series but would have been in contention.  All their stars had at least 1 great game while she played well in all 3.  They have to players named Thomas, #5 and #25.  25 opened up the 1st game scoring a large majority of their points and in last night's game #5 got 29 or more.  But Courtney had a double double last night with, I think, 5 assists.  

All depends who steps up in the finals.  Courtney didn't shoot a high percentage last night but had close to 15 rebounds.  

To answer your question, yes, she has a shot.  I'd just like to see them win.  The girl that won the 3 point contest as the all star break isn't making anything in the playoffs.  #25 for the Sun is freakishly athletic but gets herself in foul trouble almost every game.  Charges and illegal screens seem to be her bugaboo.  Really aggressive.  She can't shoot because of torn labrums in each shoulder but can make layups and floaters close to the basket.

Happy Bulls thoughts among the mostly gloom and doom .... for those with any free TBT articles left, this is a good one to use up one on.

Courtney Williams’ skills, swagger help lead Sun to WNBA finals

She played well tonight on both sides of the court and you can tell she is a leader. Series tied at 2 going to a winner take all Thursday night on ESPN.
