Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 4514550, member: 10435"] I take it you hate orange also. We all do but I think we can be objective about her. I also think you will probably hear that quote again tonight in the 1 hour preview show before the game. Whether she was being politic when she said it and really had ulterior motives, or didn't say it, it was still attributed to her. What matters is that she played the game on national television, began the famous rivalry, and also helped launch womens' basketball as a sport in the national consciousness. That doesn't make her a saint, it does make her someone that many, even Geno, has acknowledged for her greatness. The best legacy for her is her players who loved her and gave everything for her. Many of them have gone on to achieve much and some are following in her footsteps. I'm sure Pat Summit would have felt as strongly about Candace Parker dedicating the WNBA championship to her in tears as she did about her titles. Saint? No. Giant? Yes. [/QUOTE]
