Yes, her tourney play was unparalleled in terms of her scoring and she is sheer beauty to watch on the court and she was the greatest player in America this year and has drawn attention to the women's game from viewers who never followed women's basketball before. Her game against SC was iconic. I still think Paige is a better all around player. DT never scored like Clark in the tourney but she was the reason for 2 titles in 2003 and 2004 and was a better all around player than her. And in terms of recognizing Clark's greatness previously who hasn't who is a serious fan of the women's game? If Paige is healthy, she and Caitlin will be the face of USA basketball for many years and people will tune in to see them play together. They are better combined in pure offense than the duo of DT and Sue ever were IMO, but better all around and at winning games? It's no contest yet. That's where the all around nature of the player says it all. Both Sue and Diana made everyone around them better and did so their entire careers. To me, Paige has that gift as well. It's very rare. Who had the greatest offensive skills of all time as a basketball player? Think long and hard. Not MJ, not Kobe, not Elgin. It was Pistol Pete Maravich to me. Did he make everyone around him better? No one ever says that about him. [/QUOTE]
