Message: [QUOTE="Wally East, post: 2859216, member: 3065"] The point about differing competition is a good one, as is the distance of the three-point shot. At this point, I do feel the need to point to the similar numbers for Cooper: [LIST] [*]2× WNBA MVP (1997, 1998) [*]3× WNBA All-Star (1999, 2000, 2003) [*]4× WNBA Champion (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000) [*]4× WNBA Finals MVP (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000) [*]WNBA Hall of Fame (2009) [*][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_Basketball_Hall_of_Fame']Women's Basketball Hall of Fame[/URL] (2009) [*][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naismith_Memorial_Basketball_Hall_of_Fame']Basketball Hall of Fame[/URL] (2010) [/LIST] The four straight WNBA Finals MVP awards has a sort-of familiar ring to it but I can't quite place it. Maybe Stewie could help? :) She was the first WNBA player to be inducted in the Basketball HOF, apparently. Cooper was better than Swoopes two of the four years they played together, about the same one year, and not quite as good as one year (2000, the year of Swoopes's first MVP award). As for D, she had a 1st team All-WNBA teammate three out of three times she won a title: Penny Taylor, Cappie Pondexter, and Brittney Griner. ETA: Just wanted to point out that when expanding from 8 teams to 13 teams, it becomes less likely for a player to have a 1st-team All-WNBA teammate. There are simply more options for voters. Despite this, I'm not positive who is better. I mean, I *know* that Stewie was better than D in terms of their UConn careers but that's an easy thing to deal with :p And now I really, REALLY need to stop procrastinating :) [/QUOTE]
