Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 2360576, member: 730"] You obviously equate a player's "greatness" with statistics. And while stats are a part of the equation it is nearly impossible to measure a player's contribution in a teamwork intensive sport such as basketball. What can be said is that Moore has been the best player on her team since high school and that her teams have won championships at every one of those levels at a rate that no one else matches. There are great players that can count their pro rings on one finger. Players who lead their team and need most of a hand to hold their jewelry are much rarer. Wilt Chamberlain was arguably the most dominant player in the history of the NBA but if I was picking a team I'd rather have Bill Russell, whose stats didn't compare. Why? Wilt won a lot of MVP's and played on a lot of great teams but won few rings. Russell knew how to make his team mates better and it led to a basketball dynasty. [/QUOTE]
