Message: [QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 3278797, member: 15"] LOL. Ridiculous. You know what will get Tina Charles "extra consideration?" The way she has played for USA Basketball in every big tournament since 2010. Handed to her? What an ignorant statement. She has never missed a World Cup or Olympics and USA Basketball is grateful she hasn't. She has been USA Basketball's best and most consistent post player over that stretch. Let's recap: 2010 World Championships -- started 6 games. 3rd leading scorer and 2nd leading rebounder. Fowles started 3 games and was 4th and 3rd. 2012 Olympics -- started 6 games. 3rd leading scorer and 2nd leading rebounder. Best post player. As the announcer said during the tight semifinal game against Australia, Tina was the best USA player. She led the comeback in the 2nd half. Fowles played in 5 games but not many minutes. 2014 World Championships -- Tina started all 6 games. She should have been on the All tournament team for the way she played in the medal round. She was 3rd leading scorer and led Team USA in rebounding by a lot. Tina led USA in scoring in the tough semi-final game against Australia. Fowles not on the team. 2016 Olympics -- Tina started all 8 games. 4th in scoring (9.6 to Griner's 9.8), 3rd in rebounding and led all post players (by a lot) with 25 assists. Fowles was 6th in scoring and tied with 2 other for first in rebounding. 2018 World Cup -- Tina started all 6 games. 4th leading scorer and led the team in rebounding again. Fowles not on the team.
