this is one of those things that you have to watch more than once to get the full effect
#like yes ball goes in basket#but it's more than that#it's that she barely needs an inch of space to shoot a three#the speed at which she releases the ball#the way she can just pull up and shoot#the no look passes the one handed pass or even better the one handed catch#that one where she shoots on lj#or a fun game is watching her beat up on becky [stars number 25]#i really like the pull up 3 on sue and then puts her hands up bc she didn't get the foul#or and we've covered how much i like this play#the bouncing the ball off i think katie douglas' legs and then pointing to the other end of the court to indicate possession#the handle that she has on the ball is just so incredible to me#and you know the 2014 championship winning shot isn't on here bc this came out 4 years prior#but i've rewatched that several times#and on first glance you think oh it's just a jumper plus contact#but that's not true#she's shooting that with no guide hand while in midair up against another body#another thing that i know they talk about the the single elimination games record but she's 3 for 4 in wnba finals series#and 2 of the 3 that's she's won she's been finals mvp#and i was thinking today about how they could have run it back in 2010 and 2011 if cappie hadn't left#but they probably wouldn't have gotten bg if she had stayed#ik 2012 penny and dt were out for all/most of the season but you never know#i was also thinking today how dt and the merc really should have made more playoff runs#specifically in her first 3 years#and how the instability of the roster/coaching has made it that much harder#like they get paul and cappie in 2006 and win 07 then penny and paul are out in 2008 but penny is back in 09 and they get db and win#then cappie leaves in 2010#and then 2012 dt and pt are out 2013 pt out again but they get bg#2014 it clicks and they win it all best team ever then 2015 dt pt sit out#2016 penny's last year 2017 db sits out
