In USA TODAY, Erik Brady writes "maybe the U.S. women, Olympic champs for a fourth consecutive time, have earned a moniker of their own. 'I don't know how (the men) got tagged that name and we are not the Dream Team also,' Lisa Leslie said, ‘or some other name — the Dream-ettes.' How about the Supreme Team? ‘OK,' Leslie said. ‘We'll take that.' If Team USA is the Supremes, then Leslie is its Diana Ross. She is the link between gold in Atlanta and Sydney and Athens and now Beijing. ‘It is a blessing to play in this many Olympics and have all my medals be gold,' she said. ‘I played in a few world championships as well and I do have one bronze medal. And I hate it — I don't even know where it is.'”
