Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 5021386, member: 26"] Absolutely LOVE that Diana is on the team. Not only is she deserving, but it's a tremendous honor awarded to someone who has given everything she had EVERY time USA basketball called. She's been on every world championship team, and every Olympic team she's been available for. She never shirked her duty to Team USA (like others in the past and who were rightfully left OFF the teams). Dee is a tremendous leader and has represented with grace and class for many years. Regardless of whether or not she starts, and no matter how many minutes she gets, this is her swan song. To leave her off the team would have been disgraceful. Just like Catchings' last run with Team USA - she was basically the 12th player in the depth chart, but her last go-round inclusion meant someone else was left off, and I thought it was terrific she was on the team. People who can't see that are just bitter. Bottom line, I LOVE that Dee's on the team, and couldn't give a crap about all the hysteria by other fans who think she's undeserving. LOVE IT! Go Diana! Go Team USA! BTW where's all the hysteria of including Griner? She's barely back in the W, is barely producing, yet she's the only "true" center on the team. She's played what - 1 game in the W? Scored 11 points? Where's the crying and gnashing of teeth over her inclusion? I love that she's on the team as well. So deserving - just like Dee. She's the GOAT for many reasons, and hopefully a 6th gold will just enshrine her legacy even further. Team USA is an awesome mix of old and new, big and small, quick and talented. Can't wait to watch them! [/QUOTE]
