Gray will be available and will likely be the starting PG. Taurasi brings leadership and experience that CC doesn't have.
Let’s keep it funky, they’re winning gold even if either of them don’t play with whomever they fill those spots with. What’s the argument for not bringing Clark?

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
The Vets didn’t want her



She's backed by toxic fandom. Nobody want's to deal with that.


Kyrie was left off the team for reasons other than basketball as well, even they he's by far better than some of the guards selected.

Clark isn't more accomplished than anyone on the roster and he's never played live games or practiced with them.


And if the WNBA played their regular season the same time as everyone else, maybe she would've not only been added, but got a chance to play before her regular season starts.

She's not one of the best 12 players. It's really that simple. The Olympic squad is not for publicity stunts or charity cases. It should be for the people who earn it. The absolute best.

The people complaining about TV ratings and growing the game don't care about the WNBA. We shouldn't have to cater to their every whim. They can wait 4 years, I guarantee CC will still be around.

The people complaining about TV ratings and growing the game don't care about the WNBA and they never will. They're just CC fans. Let them wait.
If the players fukked with her she’d be on the team. You know it and so do I.

Being able to win as a team & enjoy the moment >>> winning but having a circus & negativity because a lower level player isn’t getting minutes

Not sure why grown men can’t understand this.

She's just not one of the 12 best right now. It's okay. She's an elite shooter, but also a defensive liability. She doesn't have a better case than any of the 12 going to Paris.

You can make the argument that Team USA women's basketball is the toughest national team to make in any sport, male or female.

Taurasi is 42 and played the last 5 Olympics, leave the past in the past

Arike Ogunbowale, Dallas Wings​

Ogunbowale has every right to be frustrated with her omission from the 2024 Paris Olympics roster.

The 27-year-old has been one of the best players in the WNBA this season. She is averaging 26.6 points and 3.1 steals per game, ranking second and first in the league, respectively.
Take Taurasi off, should CC make it over the person that's 2nd in the league in scoring that was also snubbed?
