BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

We have to talk about Detroit ... I think it's fair to say that (the Shock are) a dynasty fourth trip to the Finals in six years. That makes them one of most successful sports franchises in any league in this decade.

It always starts at the top ... From the day that (head coach and general manager) Bill (Laimbeer) took over, he made it clear that he's only in this to win championships. There's no other reason to do it. And he's brought that mentality to this team.

in NBA.com
Having a great leader like Bill is amazing both in good times and bad ... He's the best possible leader for this group. We have a bunch of strong personalities, but he knows how to manage them and he brings the best out of everybody. He lets everybody be themselves.

I think Bill definitely sets the tone ... He and (assistant coach) Rick (Mahorn) have been here and they know what it takes. From the beginning of the season, he set his expectations really high for us and we try to back him up.

starts with the organization. But a lot of it is Bill. This is what he does. This isn't about next year. It isn't about the future. It's about winning right now.

Deanna Nolan might be the best guard in the league because of her all-around game offensively and defensively. Katie Smith should be the Defensive Player of the Year and could guard Lisa Leslie if she has to. You saw (in Game 3) why we drafted (Alexis) Hornbuckle. Great presence. I have the best staff in the league

I have Cheryl Reeve and Rick Mahorn. They (too) have won championships. They have been the Finals three years in a row. I leave a large section of the practice to them

I don't even participate in the practice. I sit over on the side, dribble, run and chew gum. They are in charge of our defense. They do a magnificent job. And both in their own right are deserving of every opportunity in the future whatever their future holds.
