    (Debated whether this should be in GARM or the other forum ... mods move if necessary.)

    Can't tell which is more astonishing -- that the WNBA is actually expanding, or that they decided to use Hakeem's name.

    Hakeem's name is Hakeem.

    I would guess the name "Dream" is in reference to Martin Luther King Jr.

    Don't they usually try to stay along the same lines as their NBA team names? Shouldn't they be like the Atlanta Bald Eagles or Pigeons or Woodpeckers?

    LMAO @ Woodpeckers on several levels.

    I didn't even know the WNBA was still around. Did they start putting steroids in the players' feedbags so they could put up a more entertaining performance? They should.
