The 2010 Seattle Storm have not only become Seattle’s winningest pro team right now.

They didn’t just sweep all three of their playoff rounds and all their home games this year.

For me, they brought back my love of basketball itself.

Two years and change after the men’s pro team was stolen from us, I realized I could like this game again. The passing. The defense. The steals. The miracle shots from seemingly out of nowhere.

The Storm story is a tale of triumph from the wreckage of a civic travesty.
