Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 4935513, member: 3834"] Yeah- TV views don’t mean you’re the best player and there’s no way in h*** that Cardoso is the fourth best player in the country! The question of who is better between Clark and Paige is dependent on the criteria one uses to make the comparison. As for Geno wanting to start a fuss, I‘m not seeing the point? Surely, it’s fairly clear that there’s a legitimate argument to be made that he is correct just as there is one that says Clark is the best. The comparison is similar in some respects to that between Bird’s Celtics and Magic’s Lakers in the 80s. Do you like the flashy offensive production of Clark or the cool efficiency of Bueckers? I happen to be a Bird man but I can still acknowledge the undeniable brilliance of Magic as well. There again, the criteria used in making the decision is everything. Magic won more titles but was he the better player? Not for me, but I can certainly concede that others see it differently. The point is that most fair minded people would agree that neither claim is out of line. Now, as then, let’s be thankful that the game we enjoy is soaring to heights we’ve never seen before and clearly, clearly, Clark is certainly number one in terms of being the primary catalyst for this unprecedented surge of popularity that has overtaken the women’s game! The exciting thing here though, the thing that makes her influence less likely to be a flash in the pan, is that she has made her magic at a time where there are several other transcendant players who show every sign of being able to keep this ball rolling even after she heads to the WNBA! JuJu especially, if she wants it, looks to have the potential to take the handoff from Clark and push this wave even farther! Plus, she’s got Paige and Hidalgo to back her up along with a veritable flood of potential stars coming down the pike in the next few years. What is the saying; “a rising tide lifts all boats”? This is a special and important time for women’s college basketball! [/QUOTE]
