Message: [QUOTE="wire chief, post: 2475988, member: 1411"] Sorry, but I blanch at the "objectivity" label. It's useful, of course for the 100 yard dash et al, but less so for team sports. Look, I'm as much a homer as the next chap and love to see UConn players in the Olympics. I have no problem with the article, until the overly large consideration of a ton of college players. They must be used sparingly. But it is just not accurate to see specific players etched in stone. Now you write of a formula to identify "best players", but then you speak of combos. That's a different dimension. So, e.g, Candace Parker is a "best player', and she contributes for gold medals, Then she doesn't, and the team is successful nonetheless Decision: CP=Best Player; but not in combo. Now Dawn comes along to put her stamp on. Who will predict what she sees? [/QUOTE]
