Laimbeer predicted that a Shock would become league champions around 2003, & his prediction became a reality after it defeated the Los Angeles Sparks two games to one in the 2003 WNBA Finals. A final score in the championship game that month was Shock 83, Sparks 78. That game drew a big crowd ever inside WNBA history, when 22,076 come to view.
