Message: [QUOTE="bbsamjj, post: 4001771, member: 1738"] Because Olympic selections and All Star selections are very different things. No one is arguing that Nneka has been one of the top players in the WNBA this year--it's hard to argue that when she's only played 5 games. The same could be said of DT, who has only played 6 total games. If you were picking a true "All Star" team based on 2021 WNBA performance alone, neither of them should be on it. But that's not what the Olympic selection team is doing. (For that matter, All Stars are not usually the best 20-24 players in the league, because they are voted by fans.) For that matter, Nneka has been an all star in the past and can be an all star next year and the year after that. Olympics come around once every 4 years and are an incredible opportunity to represent your country on the world stage. [/QUOTE]
