Another great All Star game for Schimmel
S honi Schimmel made
some great plays at the re-
cent WNBA All Star
Game, held this year at the
Mohegan Sun Arena in
Connecticut.
Schimmel was again
voted an WNBA Eastern
Conference starter for the
All-Star Game.
The former University
of Louisville star scored
her team’s first points of
the game when she
knocked down a 3-
pointer.
From there, the Atlanta
Dream guard made a
breakaway layup, threw
some behind-the-back
passes and otherwise
made the game fun. It is
this kind of play that won
her the nickname Show-
Time Schimmel.
Last year, when the
Eastern Conference won,
Schimmel was named the
All Star Game MVP.
This year she made an-
other great showing, but
the West came up with the
win, 117-112.
Schimmel plays with a
Rez Ball style. “I just play
my own game, and for me
to do that, it’s fun,”
Schimmel said after the
game.
“To go out there and
play with the best of the
best, they might catch
(unique passes), they might
not. But everybody else
sees it. It’s fun.”
Schimmel scored 13
points, and made six as-
sists.
