Playing Hide the Sparks?

Sunday, you had a front-page story on Joe Bryant, who coaches the Sparks. That night, Lisa Leslie scored 41 points and became the first woman in WNBA history to score 5,000 points, the Sparks won their eighth game in a row ... and The Times buried the story on the ninth page.

It would be nice if The Times would give Lisa Leslie and the Sparks the respect they deserve.
