Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 5089740, member: 9844"] As a player only at Uconn Paige deserves to be on a top 4 Mt Rushmore with Dee, Maya, and Stewie. At most schools that would be the end of the analysis, because multiple championships would not be the norm. Here it is different, almost all of Uconn's top players have won one. In the case of the other most likely Mt Rushmore candidates it is not just one, but 3, 2, and 4. I also wonder if your career after Uconn should hold some weight. We have an incredible number of alums that have WNBA championships and Olympic gold on their resume as well, sometimes more than one WNBA championship and multiple gold medals. Compared to other Uconn greats if Paige doesn't get a ring at Uconn it will frankly standout. As a player here without any consideration for milestones or thresholds I would include Paige with Dee, Maya, and Stewie. If any of those other standards or a player's post Uconn career is considered Paige is way behind and it is obviously early. Someday Paige may get a WNBA championship, an MVP, or multiple gold medals, but the track record of former Uconn greats is incredible and the standard unbelievably high. Think about this, the WNBA's career leaders in points (Dee), assists (Sue), and rebounds (Tina) are all Uconn greats, and with Paige on Mt. Rushmore with the big 3, we would be leaving out the career assist and rebound leaders in the best women's basketball league in the world, who also won more than one national championship, gold medals and in Sue's case WNBA titles as well. I think we need a bigger mountain! [/QUOTE]
