Great career
Sue Bird is the Magic Johnson or John Stockton of the WNBA. She is easily the best point guard in the history of the sport and she will be missed when she walks off the court for the last time. Bravo girl.

shareyour probably just repeating what espn said tonight but the Houston comets Cynthia cooper was the best by far.
shareShe played a few years decades ago, before most of us were born and she was primarily a shooting guard, so not even the same position. Second, she played with Sheryl Swoops (the second WNBA player I can actually name). It is easy to rack up assists when all you really have to do is feed a scoring machine. As a general rule, I don't give a fuck about the WNBA. Sue Bird, Cynthia Cooper, Sheryl Swoops, you. I can probably beat all of you in one-on-one. Wouldn't be the first time I had to show some female player exactly how different the men's game is.

Okay, you know your sports.
Only some sports. I don't know a thing about soccer, other than Ted Lasso is a pretty funny show.
you'd be crushed playing me 1 on 1
shareMaybe, maybe not. I think I retired some 6'2" teenager not that long ago. He played organized ball, loved to play, we would just shoot around together. One day he challenged me to one-on-one, lost, and after that he suddenly lost interest in roundball and only plays video games now. I don't know for certain if losing to me caused him to lose interest in basketball, but it can't be ruled out. Unless you are some huge dude that can just back me down and lay it up on me, I think I would at least have a chance against you.
sharei'm an outside shooter but when you finally jump to block i drive. i to just played some youngsters, it got dark & we had no lights so my shot went away & lost a close one. where you at so we can schedule this battle
shareThen you play a lot like me, but when I'm guarding, I don't come off my feet very often. Usually, I am just right in your face. Austin/San Antonio area
shareF off i'm 30 minutes up I35
shareCool, plenty of courts in Austin we can do this at. I graduated recently, but I think I can still get us both into Gregory Gym at UT. Nice indoor courts.

Yeah, just earned a Ph.D. from there. earned a masters in statistics from there a few years ago. Not gonna be terribly specific, because you could actually look me up, read my curriculum vitae, see my picture, see who my dissertation advisor was, and all that stuff and it would just be weird. I don't want someone from some obscure movie site knowing that much about me. Basketball is my release and I just like to play. I know how to play poker (e.g. Texas Hold em), but when I play with anyone good, they usually just take all my money.

Sure man. Doesn't have to be horse. We can get into a game of five-on-five if you are up for that. Teach those snot-nosed underclassmen a thing or two about basketball.

Cool. Or if golf is more your speed, we can do that. Unfortunately, the only really good course in Austin (Austin Country Club) is private and they don't let peons like us onto the course. However, San Antonio has a few PGA tier courses open to the public (e.g. The Quarry, La Cantera, Brackenridge. The TPC at San Antonio). Let me know if you are in town. Not the greatest golfer, so you might have a chance against me.

Cool beans Rex. I just might take you up on that poker offer.
shareAll due respect but why would anyone watch women's basketball? Their skill level is not on par with the men obviously, no fault of their own, but biology. Do their tits jiggle?
shareWho?
shareNah, she's the JJ Barea. She has not the comparable skills nor impact that those two did.
