DT is the GOAT...... Absolutely no doubt, no debate. As I indicate below the real debate would be who's the distance second all time. Beyond the statistics over her career only player with 10,000 points etc is the impact she's had on the game. It's unfortunate she decided to come back and play this year, most of the moments reminded me so much of Willie Mays at the end with the Mets.

Me too! I think a lot depends on whether Harris is able to play

Notwithstanding this last year and playing beyond her time there's absolutely no doubt in the minds of anyone that she's currently the greatest of all time.
Those who played against her in the past and present know this. There have been amazing incredible careers in women's basketball hers is several standard deviations above the average "great" player.
A more relevant question might be who is second. Much like the LeBron versus MJ debate I'm wondering who chased or is chasing the GOAT.
Players hail 'one of the GOATs' as Taurasi walks off
Diana Taurasi did not make any official declarations about her future after the Mercury were ousted from the playoffs Wednesday, but the postgame mood seemed to signal a finality to her 20-year run.
In a tenuous tie to the title of this thread it's really appropriate that in hopefully her last game she fouled out.
Interesting you happened to link to a story about DT as 'one of the GOATS.'
I have heard all of these players speak out against the Indiana fans. And that makes me wonder if Indiana will struggle to attract free agents. That’s one of the reasons I think they should offer Mitchell the max. Smith should be traded. And they should make Katie Lou available in the expansion draft.
I mean when multiple players from multiple franchises are complaining about the racism they experienced from one fanbase directly, I have a hard time believing it will be a top free agency destination until thats taken care of. Certainly i cannot imagine any of the CT sun free agents going there now.
Someone needs to find that power of attorney form
I've dug into guaranteed and expiring contracts at times during this season, but I'm certain Richard Cohen of Her Hoops Stats -- who has done a post-season analysis of where each eliminated team stands -- will have a much more thorough piece on the Fever shortly.
Nah. As a Lynx fan, we want this match up. I use to worry about teams being physical with Minnesota but since we got Myisha Hines-Allen, I am not worried anymore. She brings that toughness that we lacked and if you haven't noticed, Alanna Smith, Napheesa, and Bridget Carleton all have been a little more assertive since Hines-Allen has been added to the roster. It will be a tough series, but I like the Lynx's chances.
The Lynx performed better this season against the Aces and the Liberty though. I think of the three teams remaining the Sun and their defense are the worst match up left for them.
I disagree but we shall see. I think we can handle Connecticut. I believe at one point in the season, Minny and Connecticut were 1 and 2 in defense, or some variation. I just know that they were right on each other's heels. The key down the stretch will be how well each team executes and handles the big moment.
I wasn't surprised by the Mercury considering the personnel. The question was whether their talent could come together to steal a game and make it interesting. They almost achieved that in Game 1 after being down 23 points.

It's an interesting opinion piece but it would have been nice if there was a real comparison as to how long it takes to get a shoe to market. For example, Ionescu's shoe would have been a good reference point for comparison as to whether Nike is really dragging their feet on the situation.Has Nike fell off? Just read an interesting piece about their management of CC (lack of marketing her, lack of progress on CC shoe, etc.)

The reasons for why Nike has so far sabotaged its unicorn opportunity
I think the addition of Hines-Allen has worked beyond the expectations of those that made the trade for the Lynx. In addition to her toughness, she's an adept facilitator on offense, with high screens, quick ball movement which often result in "hockey assists." Great weak-side defense, too.
Is there any video of such fans at Gainbridge or at other W venues? Or is it all social media? If it’s just social media, then calling them Fever or Clark fans seems like painting with a pretty broad brush.
A broad brush maybe, but how else could it be categorized? There is a subset of people/fans who are supporters of Clark for whatever reason. It's also coming from those in social media who are taking advantage of the hype to gain a following for their own benefit. What's unfortunate is that it was allowed to fester up to this point.
I am a liberty fan and don't expect to see them in the final. I don't think the semifinal series with the aces goes beyond 4 games. Bad coaching and not a complete team. Some players are overrated.
