Message: [QUOTE="jdote33, post: 5205804, member: 11252"] Honestly she's a big reason y I'm a UConn fan. My older brother is an alum and went to school during her years. He would talk about how great she was. I started watching her every chance I got, which was a bit limited without cable and not living in the area. Anyways when she turned pro I was fully on board. I was a stan. I got older and I was less of a fanatic but always pulled for her teams. I'm still a bit bummed that they lost in the finals in 21. Anyways to me, she was like LeBron but replace his athleticism with shooting, and replace his friendly on court demeanor with the opposite of a friendly on court demeanor. I remember times where she got into it with Svetlana abrosimova in Europe and im confused, double checking while it's happening like I'm 99 percent sure they were teammates and had a good relationship .lol. I've even seen her be a little opposite of friendly to Sue Bird on the court. I know ppl her call her the goat.. but I actually think ppl don't understand how good she was. Like I think we could talk about more. She basically played 3 positions flawlessly. Like she won her first title as a 3. Her second title she was kind of a 3 but I actually like to think of her as a 2. This was her MVP year . Then she won her last title as a point guard. I don't think ppl do this. Lol, besides LeBron . And I could see Paige or Caitlin doing something similar. Lastly I agree with the notion that we don't know about or factor in her overseas play enough. Russia, Turkey etc. Not to start anything but I do sometimes think the year she took off was a bit of bad timing. [/QUOTE]
