Unless you have a truly dominant, generational player. Which Clark is not. The GOAT of women’s college basketball has been over but it’s really over now.

Embarrassing post

 

[Dudleys87]

If Clark is not a dominant, generational player, then who is? She's at the top of the convo for best offensive player ever.

Clark career averages:
28 ppg, 7 rpg, 8 apg, .608 TS%

Moore's best season:
23 ppg, 8 rpg, 4 apg, .610 TS%

Lobo's best season:
19 ppg, 11 rpg, 2 apg, .595 TS%

Parker's best season:
28 ppg, 11 rpg, 3 apg, .581 TS%

Taurasi's best season:
18 ppg, 6 rpg, 4 apg, .585 TS%

I expected TRex to be much higher.

People forget that Candace Parker was dunking on mofos

Sure. And she was great. But that doesn't make her a better player than Clark. Steph is an all time great. It's not for dunking.

20 million Nike deal -- they need to sell alot of womens shoes

Your post brings up a few questions for me. I would appreciate it if you would answer all of them.

1) You said “the GOAT of women’s college basketball has been over.” What does that mean?

2) Who do you think is the GOAT of women’s college basketball?

3) Which “truly dominant, generational player” (or players) won championships when they were not on the best team?

1. It means Clark is eliminated from the GOAT discussion. You aren’t the GOAT with just personal awards. Is Maravich EVER mentioned as the GOAT of men’s college hoops? No he isn’t.

2. Breanna Stewart

3. Your question is ridiculous. Put it like this. Truly great, generational players make those teams great. They also elevate the players around them.

But Steph is never mentioned as the GOAT besides being the best shooter of all time. Why? Because basketball is more than shooting.

She's third all time in assists. In the history of womens basketball. Your post shows you know nothing on the subject. Only a shooter? Laugable. It's the same as when people claim Wayne Gretzky was only a scorer. Once you hear that then you know the person is clueless.

So if you are the best scorer. Which she is. The best shooter. Which she is. And third best distributor of the ball ever, which she is, then what are you talking about?

You’ll have to excuse him, he doesn’t actually watch sports.

And kudos on the Gretzky call out. My favorite sport stat of all-time is if you took away every goal that Gretzky scored in his career, he’d still be the NHL’s all-time points leader. That’s truly mind boggling.

Thank you for answering my questions. I’m sorry you think my 3rd question was ridiculous, but I said that the best team wins, not the best player, and you said “unless you have a truly dominant, generational player,” which clearly implies that you think at some point, an all-time great player caused her team to win, despite not having the best team. Be more clear with your words, and you won’t get “ridiculous” questions.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Like you do

 

[Boston Vol]

Like you do

Yes I do. Clearly based upon your posting history, you don’t. If you did, you would have realized that Clark led the country in assists and that what you said about her was fantasy land stuff.

They're not womens shoes, they're just basketball shoes. NBA players are wearing Sabrina I's shoes already.

She'll probably sell tons of apparel, too.

Fanatics said that she had the highest selling jersey on draft night of any athlete, in any sport, in the company’s history.

2. Breanna Stewart

Who is that? Did you mean Brandon Stewart?

 

[MHS Rebel]

If you are talking about GOAT for ladies BB, then it's Pat Summit. Basically invented the sport, both as a a player and coach. There are only a handful who played, coached, has an Olympic medal.

 

[NashVol11]

Tbh I'm pleasantly surprised that BOT knows who Breanna Stewart is. Probably found out within the last week
