The WNBA Champion Minnesota Lynx came home to a packed airport today:
The fans stretched so deep that they were blocking off the route to baggage claim. They waited patiently at the bottom of a staircase -- sometimes spontaneously breakout out in "Let's Go Lynx" chants and then burst into loud cheers when players walked down.
The Lynx had fun celebrating with fans:
Lynx players allowed other passengers to exit the airplane before they finally emerged in the terminal with Augustus holding the championship trophy. Moments later, players stood atop a flight of stairs in stunned silence as applause boomed from the fans gathered below.
The Championship parade and celebration will be Monday.
Cool bonus: The NBA's Kevin Durant says fiancee/WNBA Champ Monica Wright is the better basketball player.

Methinks KD looked in a mirror and saw Shelden Williams rather than himself!
Minnesota Public Radio News has a fantastic 43-photo full-screen depiction of the Lynx' road to the championship.

Abacus, this is the first time I've seen a mean comment from you.
Scamp, thanks. Was wondering a couple weeks ago where you've been. Great link, as usual.
'Twas meant tongue-in-cheek, Ms. Sue. (Thought the "Methinks" was the give-away.)
I also had thought I'd tried to softened some prior criticism of CP in that manner here before.
It certainly wasn't meant to slight Wright -- for the record, I think she was jobbed out of recognition as the Top Reserve in the league.
