Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 5086178, member: 3834"] I have to say, the most eye-opening thing in your post was, “Is she the best ever as ESPN has pushed?” We must be living in alternate universes! ESPN has consistently minimized Clark from day one! They had to be dragged, kicking and screaming to the Rookie of the Year acknowledgement! I’d like to hear the ten players with better skills. I would also be willing to bet those ten players weren’t picked up 92 feet fro m their basket, didn’t get brutalized on court consistently, and didn’t have the refs swallowing their whistles while they were! Look, I’m not even a W fan, I only follow it to assuage my jonesing for UConn basketball! Our girls are the main focus of my basketball interest! However, I have to say, I’ve [B]never[/B] seen the level of hate and jealousy accorded to this young lady both on and off the court! Minimize her contributions as you will (not you personally) her popularity, has resulted in charter flights, huge attendance numbers, and a new tv contract that is likely to raise the minimum salary in the W from around $70 thousand, to somewhere between $200-$300 thousand! She has set or broken multiple rookie and WNBA records, has just finished what many are calling the greatest rookie season ever, She alone has been the recipient of 17% of all flagrant fouls, she has been openly mocked on court, nearly had her eye put out by what seems to me to be a deliberate jab into her eye by a player who has engaged in vitriolic attacks on her both on court and off, and throughout all of this, has never once blamed or accused anyone of anything! Does she have some faults? Of course, she tends to push off, some say she sometimes flops, her turnovers are high (though to be fair, most players who are being face-guarded 92 feet would as well). Anyway, Paige and the rest of our girls are my main focus but I do hate to see unfairness and that is what I’ve seen regarding Clark! [/QUOTE]
