Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4882929, member: 3535"] I’ll take aim and fire and all in good fun. I respect you. Hope you take the counter in good fun too. A little off-topic 1 sentence comment: Your post probably highlights why you have over the years downplayed Muhl while others (me probably in your view) have maybe overvalued her. First off, if you want to compare eras DT vs Clark -- not sure 100% you meant by "step-ahead" but if it meant over quickness and overall fundamentals and overall impact -- imo it becomes of our own personal biases. Bill Russell would have been nothing more than a rebounder and dunker in the current NBA yet in some years he led team in scoring playoffs and was near tops several years in assists. You can even see him on YT going length to length as though he were a guard sometimes - and his 45+%fg shooting was thought to be above avg for the time yet he is considered still by most among the 5 best ever I believe. And part of his high status was that he won’t titles. I agree with this high stature to a certain level and which is why I agree with those that do base a portion of their argument on National Titles. SO not sure what "step ahead" is meant by you. Secondly, DT came to UCONN if I recall her comment because she came was that she loved Showtime Lakers and UCONN was closest to it. She came to UCONN because she wanted to be a part of "winning." SO this naturally means she is will to take less shots have the ball less etc., correct? While Calrk was looking to build with opportunities in her hand as much a possible, it's either she leads the team or they are "done." SO I can't count DT's willingness to want to play more in a structure where she wasn't as ball dominant in order to win vs a a player that wants to build everything on her own back? CC is not "selfish" in a bad way., but how can I look away from winning titles from a player that won many and was NPOY and FF MVP twice etc.? When we are comparing super vs super, this isn't supposed to be a separator in any instance? I'll put it this way, the way DT commented on "Showtime" and choosing to win, imo if she were coming out of High School she would have loved to play with Clark be a part of a new "Showtime" "in order to win." While I don't believe Clark would care much who she played for other than make it a personal challenge within herself to show she can build a team. While extremely admirable - I'm taking the player who before she ever played a college game seemed focus on winning titles. While it isn't the only thing it is important. Just like I'm taking Russell over Wilt. Wilt and Calrk definitely would win one-on-one but imo that has far less meaning. Would have been interested many years ago to read your posts on Angel vs Maya. With all that is said-- imo there are 6 for sure ahead of CC. In no order- Miller, the 3 Huskies, and the two Vols.
