In fact, I read an article today and posted in the other thread that he was ranked by that author as the #4 collegiate player of the decade. Now, we all know Shaq was way better in the pros, but the point is ... Laettner "deserved" to be on that team as much as any other collegiate player.

Highest scorer in women’s college bball ever. That’s something

Jun 9, 7:55pm

How many more games did she play than most other women?

Archaea

None. She played 139 career games. Just like Kelsey Plum did (the previous scoring record holder). Caitlin played 14

Let her prove herself first.

Then why ask about how many games she played in college? Seems like a weird argument to try to change after making it.

She is not better than the players I listed

Archaea

Jun 9, 8:29pm

I was not showing that she was. Just that you were incorrect in intimating that she played more games than others.

Spiff

She is the female version of Jimmer Fredette. She shoots threes from way out

Jun 9, 8:46pm

Yes. This is a big sports story you should look it up 😉

Jun 9, 8:54pm

She’s fun to watch, passionate, skilled player who shoots well from deep

So, is this a provisional roster that can still undergo changes in the event of

Who wouldn’t be but she handled it with class.

After seeing who was a part of the selection committee for the team, not terribly surprising she was left off.

There’s a justification for leaving her off in terms of merit but not in terms of growing the game and pub for the sport

Don’t forget - Christian Laettner made the Dream Team. Let that sink in.

The rule was they had to have a "mixed" professional/amateur team at the time.

There was a lot of discussion that the collegiate player should have been Shaq

I could honestly care less about the WNBA or women's pro sports.

Which is clearly why you responded to a post about it. Because as you said

Jun 9, 9:02pm

Nope. It's a declaration that no one actually cares, including myself.
