It's nice the way they have the info available.
It would be nicer if they had all of the WNBA current and former players stats, if only to show the global reach of the WNBA. |

Because DT is on Team USA, not an international team! |

42 Current and Former WNBA Players in Olympics
NEW YORK, August 13 – Today the IOC officially posted complete rosters for each of the 12 women’s basketball teams competing in the Summer Olympic Games. The WNBA is heavily represented with 42 current and former WNBA players among those who will go for the gold beginning Saturday, August 14.
Each of the 12 members of the U.S. Olympic Team currently play in the WNBA, led by two-time Olympic gold medalists Lisa Leslie (Los Angeles Sparks), Sheryl Swoopes (Houston Comets) and Dawn Staley (Charlotte Sting). And, team captains from each of the United States teams competing in Athens chose Staley to carry the U.S. flag for the American delegation in today’s Opening Ceremonies.
The Australian Olympic Team features six current or former WNBA players, led by reigning WNBA MVP Lauren Jackson (Seattle Storm) and 2002 WNBA All-Star Penny Taylor (Phoenix Mercury).
New York Liberty forward Elena Baranova (New York Liberty) is one of three members of the Russian Olympic squad with WNBA experience, while Brazil boasts eight players with WNBA backgrounds, and Spain will compete with six former WNBA athletes.
Other countries with players with WNBA pedigrees include the Czech Republic (3), Nigeria (3) and New Zealand (1).
The 2004 WNBA Season begins anew on September 1. Ratings for ABC’s and ESPN2’s telecasts of WNBA games are up 14 and 16 percent respectively from a year ago. The season-opening telecast featuring the Phoenix Mercury at the Connecticut Sun was the highest rated WNBA game (regular season or playoffs) ever on ABC, and the July 11 telecast featuring the Mercury at the New York Liberty was the highest rated WNBA regular season game ever on ESPN2.
A complete list of Olympic basketball players with WNBA experience follows:
