The Detroit Shock won the WNBA title Sunday at the end of the most chaotic season in franchise history. A day later, the team was honored by a mayor and city council that understood exactly how it felt.

After all, while the Shock was overcoming injuries, fights and suspensions to win its third title in six years, the city was dealing with the former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick scandals and an economy in turmoil.

"I've only been on this team for eight weeks, but I'm still amazed at how much they care about winning," said McWilliams-Franklin, who won her first WNBA title at the age of 37. "This has been amazing."
