Welcome to the Edge of Sports podcast. I'm Dave Ziron.

This week we've got an interview with WMBA aficionado Helen Weillock about the forthcoming WMBA

finals between the Connecticut Sun and your

Washington Mystics. I also have some choice words about Israel canceling the FIFA Palestine Cup,

very important issue that's gone completely under the radar. I also have just stand up and just

sit your ass down awards and more. But first, courtesy of my show The Collision on WPFW89.3 FM here in D.C.

Let's talk to Helen Wheelock.

Helen, how are you doing?

I am excited for this series to happen. That's what I'm excited for. Yeah. Now, I think the way

people are talking about it, and of course, this is a DC radio show, so please check me if I'm

leaning a little too much in that direction, is that the mystics are clear favorites. Do you feel

like the Sun have a chance and how do they win this series, if so?

Yeah, I think there are two teams that were identified at the beginning of the year of the season as the two teams to watch.

Mystics in particular because they've got all the the elements are coming back for a second

swing at the title they were swept last year but Elena Deladon their

extraordinary star was was injured MVP MVP she's just so smooth she's so smooth

and I'd like to watch on the court but they've got every single piece ready right now, the mystics do.

Sun, they recognize that people calling the underdog, I think ESPN tossed out the role players,

but you can be greater than the sum of your parts.

And the spirit and fierceness of the sun has been extraordinary.

John Kil Jones is one of their leading rebounders.

She's just, she's a pogo stick with hands that just the ball comes to her.
