Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4885864, member: 3535"] Please take this is a fun post. I had a back-and-forth with another poster regarding DT vs Clark. Why is it fair to overlook Clark's lack of titles if she gets none while being so focused on offensive stats vs a player like DT that came to UCONN specifically to win titles in which she knew she would not accumulate as many stats? 1--- CC came to Iowa; had to have a strong rational understanding that she probably wasn't going to win a title. 2---- DT came to UCONN with the understanding that she wasn't going to be the number 1 player early on. but with a rational understanding she was going to win at least once. It doesn't make sense to not hold anything against Clark while holding it against DT for not accumulating as many stats. Secondly, from the Italics above - I can recall a player that the poster on here his name is The Deacon knows. The player The Deacon will recognize is the name; Tim Duncan. His nickname; The Big Fundamental. No doubt one of the super great player’s off all-time. His style of play isn't even near the style of play Clark employs. In fact I will say Tm Duncan was one of the most boring superstars I have ever watched. So taking in your [I]corollary query:, when we view all-time greatness, if a player is boring in our view, then he shouldn't be considered as an all-time great? Because he would have "mythically" surpassed more exciting players, right?Otherwise what was the point of your query? [/I] And I'll also add- I respect Clark a ton. I respect the Offense she runs - sort of like a prime LeBron James or Dwayne Wade. OFC she shoots more 3's but in LBJ's and Wade's prime similar type of offensive spread. I prefer however Curry from Golden State even though I know LBJ is greater. And I prefer DT, Maya and Stewie watching that style over Clark's (LBJ's). For any game, if Clark lays a clunker it's about as boring to watch as you can get. Yet I recall when DT played a clunker in the Finals vs Oklahoma, because they ran a Team Offense, the game remained well played and up-tempo. Clark's current game is contingent on one player on her team. She has imo made the other players on her team boring. Primarily they sit at a spot and wait for a pass from her. - Just my bias- I'm an old timer. My favorite player on this team is Paige. In one game or two if she were to score 40-50 points I would be ecstatic. But if that were part of the offense and she was doing so much shooting regularly, I would end up being incredibly bored. Part of my excitement this year was watching KK and Ashlynn play so well together. I remarked often of how much I was enjoying that. Overall one-player teams are boring for me. [/QUOTE]
