come on... now its video, give it up people! hard working GOOD players have a lil diva-tude in them... ALL of them!
Yeah, facts. Facts like Maya won a lot of conference trophies and two NC trophies. That's called backing it up. Let's see if Diggins can win any.
We interrupt our regular DC chiding of UConn fans for their homer bias with an image of Medalist Maya. We'll return shortly to DC's campaign to show that Mean Maya and Snarly Sue aren't any different from the nasty street people UConn fans think other schools put out on the floor.
...and a Honey Badger. I like players with attitude. No matter what color they wear. Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk
I agree DD. Skyler is a great talent but she always seems to be pouting or complaining - she's a master of the annoying facial expressions imho. Fans tend to hate their rivals the most and Notre Dame is now our biggest rival in the BE!
this is what I can understand... but putting the blame on Diggins is unfair. All while the coach is a "dear Philly friend of 30yrs"
Monday night at the XL will be very loud and UCONN will now prove who is the best team in the BE..........
Maya, Candace, Tina, Diana, Brit, EDD, Sue, etc. all have the game. Players like Prahalis and Diggins do not. once they win 2 or 3 NC's, WNBA titles, World Championship rings or Olympic gold medals, then we can make apples to apples comparisons. i really don't like Parker at all, but she has the game to back up anything she says or does. the jury is still out on Diggins. my bet is she never leads her team to a single NC. this is really her last shot as ND graduates a host of seniors this year (Peters, Novasel, Mallory, and Miller)... unless any of them are redshirts and can come back next year......
Brit is Brittany Griner? Are you counting her USA national team champioinship to qualify to be listed with Diana et al? If so, how can you discount Diggins' gold medal - as a team captain - with the World University games (Novosel and Mallory were also on that team, btw)? Diggins has two more golds with USA Basketball, with the U19 team (was also co-captain) and the u18 team.
And she (Skylar) got to the National Final game last year as a sophomore. Her on-the-court accomplishments are certainly at the same level as Griner or EDD at this point, really much better. Good players come with a variety of personalities -- Derek Jeter and Manny Ramirez, Tim Tebow and Joe Namath. We had Diana, who was always more over-the-top than Skylar Diggins or Devereaux Peters has ever been. We've also had Rebecca and Sue and Maya, and they have had Ruth Riley and her teammates in 2001, all of whom were model citizens in their on-court conduct. Novosel (regardless of the way she draws fouls), Mallory, and Achonwa seem to be in that same mold on this team. Let's allow players to be themselves, even on the court.
