Comets dominated that first run against the Sting and Liberty, winning by 16 and 14 points. You’re right that single elimination makes it harder to repeat though because the following season when they switched to best 2 out of 3, the Comets wouldn’t have repeated since they lost to the Mercury in game one of the Finals. Since it was best two out of three, they won the next two games. That means no 4 championships in a row which is your whole argument.

The Liberty were the favorites to repeat, and how quickly people forget how hot they started the season hot until injuries hit. Not to mention they were missing BLH for the entire season. I’ve seen people in this thread calling Jonquel trash. I don’t think she is, but she clearly isn’t on the level of a Swoopes or Cooper (who were both on the same team). Again, you’re saying Coop and Swoopes are the two best women’s players of ALL TIME, and they played on the SAME TEAM, so that would mean they’re clearly a level above these other super teams of today, ESPECIALLY in the 8 team era in which they played when the players weren’t as good. As far as Candace and Nneka, they played in the same era as the Lynx, Phoenix, Seattle. The Competition was harder than it was in the early days.

Your only argument for Swoopes over A’ja is rings. Swoopes wasn’t the best player on the team and didn’t win Finals MVP either of those championships. Also my nikka, Swoopes wasn’t a contributor in any capacity to that first championship. She scored the same amount of points as me in the playoffs. She barely even played that season. I think she might’ve been pregnant.

:dead:SWOOPES WON
THE MVP AND DPOY IN
2000 BUT SHE WASNT
THE BEST PLAYER ON THE TEAM
THAT YEAR?

HOW IN THE HELL DID
THIS nikka GO FROM SAYING
"THEY ONLY PLAYED ONE GAME
IN THE PLAYOFFS RD"
AS A NEGATIVE
TO SAYING "WELL THEY SWITCHED
THE FORMAT AND COMETS LOST
THE FIRST GAME IN THE NEW
FORMAT SO THEIR 4 IN ROW DOESNT COUNT"

:mjlol: nikka WHAT?
:devil:

A’ja has been MVP and DPOY in the same year TWICE. Some say she was robbed that one MVP that Stewie won, that would’ve given her a MVP, FMVP and DPOY in the same year.

It is a negative, but I was using your argument against you because if the format stayed the same, they would’ve lost in the Finals that second year if everything played out exactly as it did.

You use 4 rings as the reason Swoopes ranks higher than A’ja while ignoring the fact she barely played as a rookie and scored zero points in the playoffs that season. At the same time, you use 4 Finals MVPs as the reason Cynthia Cooper is the GOAT, despite playing only 4 seasons, but Swoopes has ZERO Finals MVPS and she’s number 2? Is Tina Thompson top ten since she was part of that dynasty?
