Edit:Comparing the impact of a lead guard to a PF/C can be very difficult.

Coop, because I'd be more afraid for my life if I fucked up.

I think for Jackson it's actually that Bird made her a better player. How good would Jackson have been with an average PG during her career?

I could make the case for Tina Charles, too. Would Charles have won an MVP title while with New York if she had a better PG with her?

She was really good with the Opals

Because she sucked when Kristi Harrower was bringing the ball up the court? |

Tough question. Making their teammates better barely enters the equation when I think of these 2 players. They certainly got their teammates plenty of wins though. They made their teammates champions.
I'd have to give this one to Coop though. She was a finisher but still a pretty solid passer. LJ was never really known for creating for others the way say McCarville was. (LJ did make her teammates "better defenders" though, by cleaning up after them a lot)

Should have won the one in 2016.

Well, if you got bent out of shape when I called Maya Moore overrated, you really don't want to know what I think of Sue Bird. I'd give Jackson for the answer to this question, just based off of that.
