I was referring to back to back seasons and not personal appearances My biggest issue is that a player as GREAT as Diana Taurasi is deemed to be the HANDS DOWN Goat and compared to Michael Jordan has now gone 7 years without a championship. Despite having a long stellar career, she still has less championships than Cynthia Cooper. She has played with major star players that included Brittany Griner And DeWanna Bonner among others. I believe a HANDS DOWN Goat with Great players around her should not have the excuse that the competition is too good for her to win more. Nevertheless I still believe that she is certainly a worthy and strong candidate for GOAT status but just NOT HANDS DOWN when Cooper never lost a playoff series in her career and put up the career statistics that topped Taurasi in scoring average, assists per game, free throw percentage , three point percentage and two point percentage. ( viewed prior to the start of the 2020 season.) Other great players hypothetically may have been able to accomplish the same thing in the same period with the same teammates but you could hardly have asked for a player to have produced more than what Cooper delivered.
