"As they say ‘all good things must to come to an end,’ and unfortunately the time has come for me to walk away from this game I love," said Penicheiro. "I would just like to thank, in a general way, the people involved in my career: from my coaches to my teammates to the WNBA and of course the fans. Basketball has given me more than I could ever imagine, and I will continue to give back and stay close to this amazing sport. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the support throughout the years!"
— Chicago Sky point guard Ticha Penicheiro on her decision to retire from the WNBA (via a Chicago Sky release).
She's one of the top 15 WNBA players of all time, one of the most creative play makers ever to play the game, and a master of pacing and deception to keep defenses off balance. She was a magician and I appreciate that I was able to see her a number of times in person, dating back to her days at Old Dominion.
