I don’t. I think the matchups are fairly even, although I think Garnet has the better playmakers for the most part.

Cooke is gonna take 30 shots in a game like that. That’s why I think her team will get smoked. Maybe she’s matured! Will be fun

I don't know. I just know who won from some from Gamecock fans who posted on the BY who at the game. They said that defense was ahead of the offense (which is no surprise) for a SC team. and the game was sloppy. Hall and Rivers stood out amongst the freshmen and Cardoso had issues guarding Boston. Top 5 recruit Janiah Barker was at the scrimmage.

She does need another ring because she can't sit at the table with the all time greats with just one ring

She can...the same way that Yolanda Griffith and Tamika Catchings can. Multiple championships are nice, but I don't think anyone would say Cappie Pondexter is more of an all-time great than Candace by virtue of more WNBA titles (of which admittedly she played a starring role in both).

I do hope she gets #2 though. She has played a great Swiss utility knife role with Chicago, and doesn't mind if other players on her team are the "Player of the Game" while she quietly stuffs that stat sheet on both ends of the floor.

Cappie ain't no all time great.she's very good with multiple championships.Im talking Leslie,Cooper,Swoops,Tarausi,Thompson,Jackson, Bird even Maya with her short career.Candice is at a table with Catchings.Griffith, EDD, Griner,they have one but are better than some players with more than one championship now Catchings may be an exception to be at the table but imo Candice isn't

Are you talking about CandICE (wiggins) or CandACE (parker)? Because parker is definitely at the table with the all time greats in my opinion. Another ring would just further move her up the all time greats list. She is the only person on the list who won the MVP and Rookie of the year which helps place her in the greats conversations with the others. But i agree another ring would just cement her legacy even more because all her awards and stats just speak for themselves.

We can agree to disagree but i believe those people you named at table who have played with and against candice would say she should definitely pull up a chair. I would add Seimone Augustus to that list a player who had major impact on multiple championship teams along with Deanna "tweety bird" Nolan.

And yea Catchings is probably the best all around player out of all those that you named. She might just have that defensive award named after her when it's all said and done.

I totally get your reasoning though and this isn't to be like an attack on your post. I actually appreciate the point of view and you named off some really good names and blasts from the past.

TBH Cynthia Cooper is one of my favorites and i loved watching her play! She is underrated i believe by a lot of folks.

Due to her being labeled a “Princess” by a segment of the WBB fan base, she needs the second title(and potentially a third in the next 2 or 3 years if Chicago can stay together) to shut down the naysayers.

imho, even if the sky with Parker make the finals, there is no way they beat Phoenix this year . DT and Griner plus all the rest have hit their peak at the right time now. will be a sweep vs either the Sun or the Sky. I hope I'm wrong but I'm always right... lol

I don't get the Princess part but I feel if she played with more aggression then LA would have beaten the Lynx more.
