    This is the most painful story I've ever written. Calli was a tremendous person and a damn good journalist. Always enjoyed working alongside her. She represented this area so well. My heart goes out to her family.

    Man 2003-2008 was a great time to be a basketball fan in Metro Detroit: - Pistons win '04 title, six straight ECFs - Shock win '03, '06, '08 titles - Saw The Palace's address change from 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 to 6 Championship Drive
    On this day, 17 years ago, (September 16, 2003) Coach Bill Laimbeer and the Detroit Shock won their first WNBA title in front of a sell-out crowd of 22,076. ⠀ #MadefortheW | @LVAces
