For those that have prime - taurasi

I enjoyed it quite a bit. I particularly liked the fact that they didn't try to gloss over the rough patches. I highly recommend.

Actually, one can make a very good argument for any of the 3 to be #1. And none of them would be wrong.

In another decade, we’ll be squabbling over where Paige and Sarah belong on that list. We are truly a lucky fan base to have been able to watch these women

Williams and Cash were on D’s first championship team so maybe you meant her last 2 championships

I can pretend that’s what I meant, but I honestly depended on my memory instead of looking it up online. 😏. Thanks for the gentle correction.

As per this ESPN article, the documentary peels back the curtain on parts of DT's life, warts and all...

Taurasi opens up on being benched for Olympic gold medal game in new documentary

Lost some respect for Reeve after seeing that. Bird was right.

We finished watching the series last night. I had forgotten that Dee didn't play in the 2024 gold medal game v France. Hmm. I appreciated the honesty of her journey, and IMO, the storyline of DT being ahead of the W's time is spot on. Imagine if she was still early in her career now? The snippets of Geno and D's dad were priceless. The cameos of current & former players was impressive. The other thing that we realized is that if Dee wasn't Dee, and didn't have the financial resources and a good agent, the doping allegations in Turkey may not have been overturned. I could go on and on.

Oh, and seeing Leo and Isla was also amazing. Watching the few clips of Dee in mom mode was enlightening, and loved that she gave Penny all the props for doing most of it while she was still playing.

The benching of a soon to be 6 gold medalist in basketball, the only ever, was atrocious. Even the TV analyst said she needed to go in the game to calm us down and lead. It was a glaring slap in the face and one a great coach like Geno would never abide. I remember when Tamika Catchings was on the team and she clearly was nowhere near her former self but she started and then came out. It's what you do. If Reeve was so unsure of winning that game (she almost didn't) that she couldn't put her in for a few minutes then she shouldn't have been the coach. Classless move that will be remembered by many. I'm sorry she is Pheesa's coach because I can't root against her.

Sounds like you don't understand how anyone could possibly have a different opinion than yours. There are actually many.

To each his own.

For me the "goat" is not just about basketball skills. It's about character too.

That's why I would choose Stewart and Maya 1 and 2.

Yes that documentary was very good but I was actually stunned by the language. There would be no way that my wife would allow our kids to watch something like that.

My wife and myself watched this documentary together and she commented several times to me about the number of F-bombs.

Not once ever did I ever hear Maya use verbiage like that and I never saw her trash talk her opponents. Never saw Stewie do that either.

But I am entitled to my own opinions. Maybe if you had young girls who watch/idolize these players you would understand a parents point of view.

Nice job of moving the goalposts.

Let me ask you something right here.

What did you think of the very opening scene when Diana arrived at her hotel in CT. (I assume it was CT)

When she said "do you wanna film me taking a ....." I Won't repeat the word. My wife had to rewind it 3 times to see if she actually heard what she heard.

If you think that is appropriate or G-Rated content for an 8 and 10 year old then we have a difference of opinion big time.

Personally it doesn't really offend me because I could care less.

But it's the kids who look up and follow these players. It's the kids who imitate these players. That is an issue.

And you never met my wife. (She is an Attorney btw)

Like I have said a million times, Maya (an excellent role model) did not talk or act like this.

But it is you who is offended by my opinion on this matter. I have said enough about this already so I am not gonna drag this on.

I'm not interested in your role model rant.
