i don't know why i'm doing this, or what inspired me, but i wanted to put together the 12 player team (gotta make it more legit than 11 player teams) i would choose for the WNBA.. i chose the team based on style of play and my thoughts of a team that YOU couldn't beat.. i wanted to tie my hands behind my back, by not choosing players like Taurasi, etc.. i would love to debate my team vs anybody that thinks they can field a better team and beat my team.. i promise you that you won't beat my team.. and yes, I'd coach the team.. our offense would be ridiculous and the defensive schemes would put me in the Hall of Fame (only jokes, but i do feel good about my chances!).. i also made sure that my FAM was on the team.. plus i know their traits and skill set.. but let me get to it..
My Starting Lineup
PG: Temeka Johnson
SG: Cappie Pondexter
SF: Tamika Catchings
PF: DeLisha Milton-Jones
C: Sylvia Fowles
Reserves
PG: Epiphany Prince
G: Ketia Swanier
SF: Essence Carson
SF: DeWanna Bonner
SF: Tamera Young
F: Candace Parker
C: Erika De Souza
On paper, i know you're scratching your head.. No Sue Bird? No Lauren Jackson? And no Taurasi? yup, that's right.. there were a few players that i really wanted (like Crystal Langhorne), but i just couldn't fit them on the team.. i wanted a team that could play uptempo and a half-court game.. this team fits.. my biggest thing was making sure my bench would be able to run the other team off the court.. Epiphany is the game changer off the bench.. Essence and Tamera are my shutdown defenders.. They are my glue players.. They will defend whoever.. we saw Essence come into form during the playoffs.. she's not intimidated by anyone.. DeWanna is the ultimate glue player.. a player that can get me 15 and 8 in a blur.. Erika is a force.. just when you thought we were soft, she appears.. Candace i'd want inspired by being on the bench.. like how she was in Russia.. she murdered 2nd units.. Ketia will be able to flourish in a guard capacity.. i want her to be a blur.. i want her as a 1-person fast break.. point blank..
my starting lineup? come on now.. Meek is the general.. the team falls in line after her.. Cappie is my DWade.. she's going to give me buckets and get in the zone faster than any other player.. Catch is my LeBron.. does everything VERY well.. DeLisha? that's my bully.. she does the dirty work and can score w/o having plays designed for her.. Syl? what more can i say? on my team, she'd dunk EVERY game..
think you can put together a squad that beats us? let me know.. you won't win, but i love you thinking that you can!!
