USA Women’s Basketball has assembled a gold medal winning team in 2020, 2016, 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992, 1988, and 1984……….so I think it’s safe to say they know what they are doing when they assemble a roster 🤷🏾♂️ I thought the goal of the Olympic team was to put together the best of players in order to win the gold. So you want to tell better players that they can’t compete because you want to see Angel and Caitlin sit on the bench…….and that’s somehow going to bring all these viewers to the WNBA???? If you think that’s what’s best for the sport, I respectfully and emphatically disagree.
@stevenposey4629 Yes, the Olympic committee knows how to put together a cohesive team, however they have not been good at monetizing the success of that "winning culture" for the women. The combination of a winning culture and current star power would be a gold mine. Imagine 💡 they win the gold 🏅 and have t-shirts, Olympic merch, jerseys, etc sell out 10x with Ajay, Diana, Caitlyn and Angel front a center! Caitlyn is like Linsanity, but will have prolonged success! 💣 💥
Hmmm, definitely wouldn't crown Caitlyn the greatest collegiate ball player of all-time. Sheryl Swoopes made a great point about her having extra years to break that record. In the same amount of time, she didn't match up (that's the fact) Next Topic: They should have been on the Olympics team to monetize that especially with the WNBA set to lose 50 million this season. The team will still be good enough to win. I believe Taurasi and other WNBA vets may not have wanted her on the team, to pay her dues first. Taurasi is on the downside of her career and should embrace the new talent so the league can thrive and push forward. I think they both should go over to Paris and support the Women's team and a positive gesture. Maybe the 2nd half of the WNBA season will still be able to benefit from those optics!!!

Angel wasn't thinking about Olympics because she knows she has work to do. Leave Angel out the conversation.

Black folks haven't been making a fuss over Angel being on the Olympic team.
Angel didn't try out because she knows she's not ready. We understand she needs more growth.
No "woke" Reese, "wokes".
Clark yea but Reese’s trashy attitude and performance is a no go
