WBB Olympics MVP

[bschwartz]

I know a lot of different players stepped up across all the games including CP today. If I had a vote for MVP across all the games, I'd give it to Sue IMHO. Second place would be Tina Charles mostly for defense. Sure. others including non Huskies had singular performances in the tournament, but overall those would be my votes. Who would you vote for MVP?

it's hard to say. today Parker definitely had the best game, but she had too many games where she disappeared, and actually lost her starting spot to Moore. But it was a different player each game stepping up. I think each player brought something unique and different to the team which is why this American team was so good. Hard to pick just one player as MVP of team USA.

Team USA is the MVP of Team USA

 

[UConnChapette]

Agree, too hard to pick. Especially considering each game was, in the end, easily won so there was no "clutch" player who had to step up and carry the team to victory. I am content to leave it as a team win and not pick an MVP.

I would take Dumerc or Gruda of France, they so overachieved in this Olympics.

For Team USA, I would give to Angel or Lindsey.

What are you on?

And where can I get some?

 

[Wbbfan1]

The reason I considered Angel & Lindsey is when the USA was struggling, they righted the ship frequently when Lindsey and Angel came into the game. Others scored more points, but Angel & Lindsey changed the tempo which led to Team USA making runs.

I think Angel gave the greatest lift overall to the team when they seemed to need it... it's hard to pick one payer, but if i had to do, it would be her...

 

[OneTrickPony]

This was truly a team effort...perhaps two teams...

Agree 100%. There was no clear cut MVP, so there is no reason to name just one player. Great team effort.

I think in the one game that was somewhat tense the player who showed up the most was Tina on defense in the second half against AUS. But I thought she had a sub par game today ... so ...
I agree - the team.

 

[MilfordHusky]

The team had more athleticism and more depth than any opponent. Several players were key, including Angel, Dee, Candace, Maya, and Tina. In the medal round, Sue was as valuable as anyone. Typical clutch play from her.

 

[JimGunther]

There's no doubt that (in the early games anyway) Angel and Lindsey gave the team an emotional lift. Kick-started things.

 

[EricLA]

Diana was the heart and soul of the team. Best player in the world, MVP, and all around amazing person. She's a bit brash and I know it rubs some people the wrong way, but she's so incredibly eloquent when asked a serious question. I don't think anyone was more proud of the rest of the team and how they all played than Dee was. Seeing her on the medal stand with tears in her eyes was incredibly moving.

One of the things I REALLY like about the Olympic Tournament is that there is no MVP voted on officially. So I'll abstain from voting for one unofficially. I can understand people who like to discuss such things though. Have fun.

Agree - and I think on this team to select one would disrespect about 6 other players that could have as easily been selected - and also miss out on some significant individual performances from other semifinal teams.

Agreed but in my heart if I had to choose, my selection would be the SILENT ASSASSIN SUE BIRD. Almost flawless games and lift the team when needed in addition to scoring the threes to put games away.

Sue's game is so good and so smooth it goes virtually unnoticed.

 

[warbler1055]

I didn't even remember the turnovers if any, LOL!!! The announcer was saying over a ton of minutes without a turnover from Sue. This was in the Australian game.

Did you notice that the more votes a candidate gets, the more orange is next to their name? hmmm....

Bad poll, because it does not include a "team" option. So, no vote for me.
