I have fallen down the rabbit hole, these are so great!!! Unscripted and unfiltered. I love hearing from the OG’s.

Players in all sports generally think their era was better than the current one.
Whalen was better than Staley in every possible way.

I think you can only argue at one end of the court, the defensive end would be ALL Staley.

After listening to all sides of the GOAT debate i initially had DT as my #1. But its true shes a great offensive player the greatest ever , but She's not the GOAT. Catch was the best defender in W history and still had rival offensive numbers as well.

Dawn Staley was never, ever known for her defense as a player |
Yeah nah Staley was a floor general with bad knees. If were comparing Prime Dawn with Whalen & Hammon then you have an arguement , but Dawn was not in the WNBA at that time this category is based off the greatest WNBA players that played in the league and their stint so dawn gets shafted. If accolades were not apart and pure balling was the judging factor Id take Dawn over both Whalen and Hammon , But thats not the case soooo..... |
I'd probably still lean towards Whalen but at least comparing prime vs prime is a fair fight. Comparing what they did in the W (even if you include the ABL) is a mismatch of colossal proportions. |
Whalen had Maya , Mone , Brunson & Fowles to make her resume look complete. Staley had Stinson , Bullet , Feaster & Mapps or TSB ......not really a fair comparison tbh. |
Whalen had already been to the finals twice before she played with any of those people. Staley played with Sheryl Swoopes and Tina Thompson in one of Sheryl's MVP seasons and still couldn't get over the hump. |
Whalen got to the Finals in her 20's her first few seasons in the league with Katie Defense Douglas , Nykesha Clutch Sales , Asjha Olympian Jones and Tina MVP Charles Not 2 mention having Large Marge RIH
Staley played with Swoopes & Thompson when she was 35 or older in the last year or year and 1/2 of her career !

Whalen never played with Tina Charles in the W.
When Whalen was the same age Staley was in Houston she was winning her 4th ring.

iWas Wrong on the Charles part it was TMW-Franklin but even saying Staley was the same age as Whalen when Whalen got her 4th ring only solidifies my point. She got those rings with those players she played with and that enhanced her resume . Had Dawn came in the league and even if she came at the same time she came and you put her with the 4 Whalen had she would have rings as well. I like this debate
