A few weeks earlier, I had written that although Wilt Chamberlain claimed to have slept with 20,000 women in his lifetime, I had once slept with 7,138 women in a single night: We were all snoring in the stands at a WNBA game.

It was an appalling line, and I was eager to change the subject, but Lobo wouldn’t let it go. ‘We get 15,000 fans at Madison Square Garden,’ she said.

‘How many women’s games have you ever been to, anyway?’ Hanging my head in shame, I admitted that I had never attended a women’s basketball game before ridiculing it in a national magazine. So she invited me to one of her New York Liberty games, I accepted, and 23 months later we were married.”
