How could she be a 14 time all-WNBA player but only make 11 all-star teams.
She was 14 times one of the best 6 guards in the league, but 3 of those years she wasn't an all-star?
She was never 3rd team, so she was always one of the best 10 players in the league but missed 3 all-star games.
That seems weird.
I'd generally expect more all-star appearances because there are 24 of those players every year but only 10 first or second all-league players.
The numbers don't work for me.
BTW: When looking her up to see if there was an error in the article, I found that she's bugger than I thought she was.
6 feet, 165#. I thought she was a smaller player.
