	LIBERTY: Liberty Forward Sue Wicks Retires
		Wicks, 36, was the first New York Liberty player to be drafted (sixth overall) in the 1997 inaugural WNBA Draft and leaves as the Liberty team leader in blocked shots (155) and rebounds (788).
		“Sue was the team’s first draft pick in the WNBA draft six years ago, and even with all her early promise, we had no idea of the impact she would have on our team.
		To Sue, it was always all about how her contributions on the court were going to help the team and how her leadership in the locker room was going to inspire her teammates,” said Richie Adubato, Head Coach, New York Liberty.

	CNNSI.com - WNBA Basketball - WNBA Spotlight: Sue Wicks, New York Liberty - Monday June 26, 2000 05:38 PM
		Wicks finally got her chance in 1997 when she was selected by the Liberty in the first round of the inaugural WNBA draft.
		After averaging just over 13 minutes in her first two seasons, Wicks was thrust into the spotlight in 1999 when teammate Rebecca Lobo went down with an ACL injury that kept her sidelined for almost the entire year.
		The bottom line for Wicks is that she can't imagine herself playing in Madison Square Garden as anything other than a member of the Liberty, and would prefer going overseas to being shipped to another WNBA team.

		She averaged 13 minutes in the first two seasons, was thrust into the starting lineup when Rebecca Lobo went down with an ACL injury in 1999, and recently has been returned to the bench by coach Richie Adubato, who has been encouraging her to drive to the hoop more.
		Wicks has adjusted to the changes gracefully, with the same cheery bounce that characterizes her pointy-toed run down the court: "I'm very happy with my role.
		Though Wicks yearns for more time with friends and family, her teammates are not ready for her talk of retirement.

		Wicks’ simple announcement was met initially with, well, almost no response at all.
		Finally, in her July 7, 2002, article for the “New York Times”, reporter Lena Williams pointed out the ironic contrast between Wicks’ self-disclosed confirmation of her lesbianism and New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza’s much-ballyhooed May 2002 press conference, at which he asserted he is not a homosexual, despite rumors to the contrary.
		Wicks gets sympathy and a thumbs-up from pro football player Alissa Wykes, who, until Wicks’ announcement, was the most recent newcomer in a small cadre of out lesbian athletes.
