Americans tend to rely on individual skills and it's said that they don't really pass the ball. So I'm going to feed passes to them and I think I can give some freshness in the league with it.

Yuko Oga, a Japanese basketball player currently playing for the Phoenix Mercury, talking about her strategy for standing out in the WNBA. (Japan Times)

    what a completely moronic statement...besides the fact that it isn't true, what do individual skills and a (perceived) failure to pass the ball have to do with each other ?

    She's not going to stand out by being the pass feeder. The woman who scores is going to be the stand out. However, watching a few WNBA games I can assure her that passing is part of the game. Maybe not with her team, but with most of the others. In fact, I'd go as far as to say passing is an individual skill that almost all the players have. (Except Dennis Rodman and he doesn't play in the WNBA)

    actually before Rodman became almost solely a rebounder he was an excellent scorer and assist man (pistons late 80s)
