WNBA Veteran To Play For Russia At Olympics
WNBA player Becky Hammon will travel to Beijing this summer for the 2008 Olympics to play for the Russian team. Hammon, a 10-year WNBA veteran, has no genealogical connection to Russia, but was granted a Russian passport from the country when she previously played for a professional team in Moscow. Hammon's decision spurred US women's basketball coach Anne Donovan to call her a traitor.
