So is 2016 the greatest Olympic team ever, as some have suggested? Well, you will have to listen to find out Smith's response, but suffice to say the defense from those earlier teams, with Lisa Leslie, Yolanda Griffith, Sheryl Swoopes, Nikki McCray, Edwards and more is pretty darn impressive and tough to compete with.
Other topics covered include:
The Liberty season to date, dealing with the break and the second half
The new playoff format's impact on the second part of the season
Tina Charles' season, getting her back into the fold after the Olympics, and getting proper rest after those extra games
Her own experience coming back from playing in the Olympics and then returning to the WNBA
Her feelings on playing for USA Basketball and being a part of those gold medal winning teams
Comparing this year's team to prior teams
Bird, Taurasi, and Catchings, and the way they have managed to still be such a vital part of USA Basketball and the WNBA
Her coaching pedigree, taking a little from Laimbeer, Auriemma, Agler, and more |
