Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3437053, member: 2117"] I agree but he's not the best example considering he's won 3 times and took his team to the finals in 9 consecutive years. One time he beat a team with the best record in NBA history (73-9 Warriors) in a massive series comeback in epic fashion. If you look at players who define a generation or an era of a sport, it usually revolves around them being the gold standard and having their team consistently in the championship hunt. Collegiately, you have a shorter time frame to work with, so if you're going to make your mark as the defining player of your era, you have to win titles. I know it's a team sport, but historically the best WCBB players have won titles and their program was viewed as the pre-eminent school during their title run. Everyone has their own definition of what transcendent, generational, etc. means, but usually it comes down to who is the greatest of all time or who defined a particular era of women's college basketball. To me, the only players who truly defined eras of women's basketball are Stewart, Griner, Moore, Parker, Taurasi and Holdsclaw. Mid 90s is about as far as my viewership goes back. [/QUOTE]
