Message: [QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 3248466, member: 15"] Yeah, that 2016 team looked devastated that Parker wasn't on the team. Best ever. Check out the stats. You'll love them. Parker did play very well against the finesse French team. The outcome in that match-up was never in doubt. The Gold Medal game was actually the semi-finals against Cambage and the Aussies. Parker was a no-show, wanting no part of the physical Opals. Geno eventually had to sit her and turned to Asjha Jones who helped turn the tide. This was from a story written about Parker being left off the team: [I]Officially, according to sources close to Parker, she was given two reasons for not being included on the final roster. Parker was told she was no longer the best player at her position, with that nod presumably going to Elena Delle Donne. She was also told she “didn’t match up well with Australia.” Parker was said to be floored by the reasoning.[/I] Maybe Dawn really likes Parker. It wasn't enough I guess. Your grudge over Parker is history and in any event is with the Selection Committee. Write them a memo if you still feel really strongly about it. [/QUOTE]
