Breanna is THE ...

Enjoy ESPN's sport tribute.

best WCBB player ever... IMO. She had an outstanding college career but her professional career will be phenomenal. She has the charisma to propel the WNBA forward.

Now that she's leaving UCONN I'm looking forward to being a big Breanna Stewart fan and following her career..

I love Breanna and she is undeniably one of the greatest ever. I do have to say that Diana is right up there with her. This weekend I watched a game, the UConn "perfect half" game vs ODU, and Diana had one wow play after another. Time makes you forget what a spectacular player she is.

As a UConn fan, I'm thrilled to say I've been able to see the best of the best, including three of the greatest women that have ever laced up sneakers.

Is Breanna better than Candace Parker? Is she better than Parker in their college days? Now?

 

[Hongster]

What I love the most about Breanna is her humble down to earth nature. If I was to have 3 blocks in one possession? My arm would still be tired from fist pump!

 

[Hongster]

Is Breanna better than Candace Parker? Is she better than Parker in their college days? Now?

I would say yes because of her defense like Kiah Stoke, her treys of KML, her handling the ball of Mojeff, and pivotal warrior of Tuck.

 

[MumboJumbo]

One of the many greats and will be widely considered the most decorated college basketball athlete if she gets #4.

What many viewers outside the UConn fanbase forget is how long she has come from her freshman year. Just take a look at one her games from her freshman campaign on uconnhuskygames.com . A few things I noticed she improved greatly on: her ability to take the opponent off the dribble, handle of the physicality of the game, ability to create her own shot, rebounding, and her defensive stance/ability to move her feet precisely while defending (although the coaches will probably disagree with that last point ).

Is Breanna better than Candace Parker? Is she better than Parker in their college days? Now?

In my opinion, yes.

You took the words right out of my mouth. DT will always be "it" for me because of her swagger and her tenacity. But Breanna, Mo and Morgan are the first group since 2002 that I've gotten so attached to.

Sue Bird said that her team will beat this team by something like 15 points. My guts feeling it's the other way around.

Candace Parker was a great college athlete, but she did not elevate those around her. In fact, she was the precursor to the Diamond Deshields syndrome, with one difference. More often than not she got the job done.

I'd pay a ton of money to see that battle royal. A game for the ages.

 

[UcMiami]

Is Breanna better than Candace Parker? Is she better than Parker in their college days? Now?

No comparison. Parker had range only to about 15 feet in college, was not a particularly committed defender, and played in a system that really didn't try to stretch her skills - she matured at TN as all players do, but her game didn't really expand. As a pro she has become a much more complete player

Is Breanna better than Candace Parker? Is she better than Parker in their college days? Now?

Absolutely and with none of the look at me nature of CP.

It's not that far fetched. I think it can be organised and tons of money to be made.
Wonder if ESPN has already put it in motion!

Which Sue Bird team? Freshmen year, senior year or Seattle team?

At one of the USABB tryout this year, CP said that Stewie is already a better shooter today than she is right now as a pro.

And now NIKE is coming out with a sneaker that doesn't HAVE to be laced up. But the prospect of finding another Breanna Stewart in any sneaker is a big reach.

Interesting stats...tough to pick just looking at the numbers. Stewies presence in the paint has altered a lot of shots and that doesn't show up in the stats. Just one quibble, I think Stewies steals per 40 are closer to 2.00 per 40...

 

[Hongster]

It don't matter!! Bring them all on and this team will send them out of town!

Ugh. Yes. you're right. 2.27/40 to be close to exact. Not sure how that happened.
