Message: [QUOTE="BlueSkyGLW, post: 4189032, member: 11281"] You remind me to someone who claimed to love tennis and its history BUT would only judge them on what the players accomplished on hardcourts, specifically the big tournaments in North America: USOpen, Indian Wells, Miami, Cincinnati, Canada as the basis for judging their play and place in the world of tennis. Of course we know that all these same great players travel on to play year round on other surfaces: grass, clay elsewhere in the world. The adjustments in how they play on different surfaces are lost to him.....and, of course, only a few of the best on hardcourts do as well on grass and clay, indoors, too. This acquaintance totally missed the rest of players' body of work that define the totality of their capabilities and accomplishments...... If you don't know, the EuroLeague is the top tier overlay league across several member countries in Europe - only the best teams qualify for each season. All of the WNBA players go there, if they can, where they are better rewarded for their efforts. We often talk of WNBA super teams but I dare you to find one that can beat UMMC Ekaterinburg which currently have in their roster: Stewie, Griner, Jonquel Jones, Meeseman, Vandersloot, Quigley, Alba Torrens and some of the best Russian players. Naturally, they were champions last year and are steamrolling opponents this year. In a year (2020-2021) when Stewie was voted Final Four MVP, you would think she, Griner or Jones could have taken DPOY (yeah, being together spread the defensive contributions among them). But it went to Gabby. And, the EuroLeague season MVP went to Alina Iagupova. [/QUOTE]
