USC legend Cheryl Miller coaches WNBA All-Stars to upset of Team USA
It was just an All-Star game … or was it? This WNBA All-Star Game was the exception among modern professional sports star gatherings. The MLB All-Star Game used to be a game both leagues desperately wanted to win. The NBA All-Star Game used to be played with cutthroat intensity. (If you don’t believe us, watch the 1987 game in Seattle on YouTube. Trust us.) The Pro Bowl used to be a bare-knuckle, knock-down, drag-out game in which AFC and NFC players went full tilt for 60 minutes and treated the game as another professional football competition worth winning. Today, these games lack vigor, but the WNBA All-Star Game was the exception. USC icon Cheryl Miller was the winning coach, leading Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese — and Arike Ogunbowale — to victory. The WNBA All-Stars outscored Team USA, 117-109, in a spirited contest in Phoenix which clearly meant a lot to everyone involved.
