The Houston Comets was a women's professional basketball team that competed in the Western Conference of the WNBA. The team was sold by original owner Leslie Alexander in 2007, then taken over by the WNBA in early 2008. The league was unable to find a new owner for the Comets and decided to disband the team in December of 2008.ESPN.com: WNBA Disbands Comets... Owners Couldn't Be Found

@GreenyAndGolic How can you guys forget the Houston Comets? They won the WNBA's first 4 championships! Come on guys!

@MarilynM That makes me so sad. I'm a big WNBA fan and I'm not sure that this league will survive. My Houston Comets didn't survive.

It is too bad that the Houston Comets no longer exist. Their male coach was a great coach. He also used to be a great college coach.

Tina Thompson of the WNBA is also a great basketball player. She had also helped the Houston Comets to win 4 straight championships.
