[QUOTE="Matty722, post: 3771441, member: 7077"] That is so tough... Team 1 - frontcourt is the weakest, but Yolanda Griffith has attitude to compliment DT and Coop and does not back down from anyone. Also, she is severely underrated. Having the two best guards of all time in DT and Coop? That’s awfully tough, especially with that swagger they have - I rarely bet against Diana. While DT is not a great defender, the front-court defense would be damn good. Wouldn’t be huge on blocking shots, but they’d be tough on that end. I always enjoyed Yolanda and in my opinion, is one of the toughest players ever. Prime Angel is a terror on defense and lightning quick. Could get to rack anytime. Nneka is definitely getting put as one of the weakest and while she would not be one of my preferable bigs, she’s got great athleticism and knows how to use it. She’s also deceptively quick when making her moves. DT is DT. She knows how to win and wants the shot at the end of the game. Coop is the same way. That backcourt is just crazy to think about as far as their primes go. Would cause major headaches for other teams. Team 2 - Sue as the pg? Offense will be run perfectly. And we know she will take and make big shots. Katie Smith is also severely underrated overall. Not just a scorer, but also tough on defense. Catchings at the 3 gives you everything since she’s so well rounded overall. Tough as nails too and big competitive fireWhile I am not a Parker fan, she provides a lot of versatility. While she was DPOY, I’m still skeptical of her defense against the other bigs. While she has improved her shooting over her career, I’d be fine with her taking jumpers. Sylvia is a monster inside when she’s fully healthy. There’s a reason why she has won finals MVP twice among all that great talent on Minnesota. Team 3 - Lisa Leslie set the standard for centers during her time in the W. She may not have handles like most of the other bigs now and may not shoot as well, but I’d never underestimate her. DPOY multiple times, 3X MVP. She knows how to win. Tina is the original stretch big - 3-pointer is fire. She’s also very tough - along with Yolanda, one of the toughest players I have seen. Also someone who knows how to win. Elena can do it all. 2X MVP for a reason. Maya is Maya. Superior athleticism, can also do it all. Big plays in big moments. Ticha would get them the ball and play defense, but lacking a scoring punch/shooting would hurt overall. Team 4 - The most versatile front court. Sheryl Swoopes was my first favorite player in the W. Defended as well as anyone, competitive, and could score. Stewie is Stewie. Exemplifies versatility to the T. Can do it all and knows how to win. LJ was tough as nails. Physical as anyone. Can also do it all, though handle not as good as some. Prime Seimone could score anytime she wanted. Silky smooth handle. Whalen is underrated. She can do a little bit of everything a team needs. Though I’d attack her defensively with her foot speed and let her shoot more often than not. Any team could win. I honestly still do not know who I would pick. But that backcourt of DT and Coop is oh so tempting...I also realize that all of them know how to win . Kind of redundant to put that on there. Would be amazing to see them all play each other all players in their prime. [/QUOTE]
