I don't have a reason to compare her with Clark. Using the "You are a winner because your team won" is silly. I guess using that logic CEH, Hardman, Nnadi etc.... are true winners while people like DT, Jefferson, Barry Sanders etc..... are major losers because the team they were on did not win. It's not that cut and dry in team sports.
Now let's compare her situation to Clark's, at least in college. Swap Clark and Reese and let me know if Reese takes Iowa to not one, but two championship game appearances.
When I asked why she didn't have more I was told it was because of SC and UCONN. The ring Reese did win was because her team didn't have to face SC because Iowa, led by Clark dispatched them. Even in that NC game, Clark was the best player on the floor. When Reese the "winner" was at Maryland no one had a clue who she was. She had to transfer to get on a better team because all her "winning" did nothing for Maryland.
Hopefully your comment wasn't serious, but if it was then Wow.
