6. Who Said It? | 1. Shock Celebrate Third WNBA Championship | | 
| "We had a lot of people that came out here for an event that was organized on very short notice," said Detroit Mayor Ken Cockrel, Jr. "I think that shows the level of love and support that this town has for the Shock."  | 2. Three Titles in Six Years Equals Dynasty in Detroit
Though the Shock neither have the following nor get the press of major sports' other dynasties of the last decade, the squad's championship pedigree is not to be denied.
3. Stars Not Aligned For 2008 Championships
Yes, the Silver Stars struggled against the Shock in the 2008 Finals, but there is still plenty of hope for the future in San Antonio.
4. Taj McWilliams-Franklin Claims First Title
"I feel like Kevin Garnett when he won his title this spring with the Celtics," Taj McWilliams-Franklin writes in her blog. "I've won titles overseas, but they don't feel the same as this."
5. Candace Parker Dishes on her Award Haul
"I was definitely in shock to receive this award," says Candace Parker on winning the MVP award. "My family was so excited for me. My brothers, you would have thought that we had won the lottery."
6. Who Said It?
"I'm old enough to know a day when female athletes weren't taken seriously like this… This isn't a women-supporting-women thing anymore. I think we're touching a lot more people now."
