Oh please. What a ridiculous comparison of situations. Candace is arguably the best to ever play the game. Diggins was coming off an injury and hadn't played enough to show her skills and be considered. Candace had every right to be upset, especially considering she had been used in the off season by Team USA for marketing purposes. I won't even get into why she was left off the team, but her being left off is the biggest omission in the women's game, EVER.
In addition, Candace never uttered a disrespectful word. She didn't need to, because the fans and other very high profile basketball folks spoke for her. She displayed nothing but class.
Moving on to Diggins....she needs to keep a positive attitude, because she is still fighting for a spot. She's going to have a difficult time battling against the likes of Sims and Chelsea Gray, who are currently playing the point guard position better than anyone else, including Bird and Whelan. All one has to do is watch their match ups against each other.
Heck, if Sue still had it, as some claim, their Seattle team wouldn't have faired so poorly. Their team had 2 Olympians on the court and couldn't contend with the teams that had zero Olympians.
I'm hoping Dawn does a much better job of spreading the love, because there's alot more talent out there than sticking with the same old faces. Taurasi has also slowed down considerably. She'll always be a shooter, but there's more to the game than that. Phoenix was another team with multiple Olympians. I honestly hope DT doesn't try to hang on to the game too long. She's becoming a shell of her former self. I was glad to see Catchings hang it up. She was another great, but she realized that she was no longer the player she used to be.
