Angel McCoughtry

And Angel is taking so much attention that Naz is getting more opportunities on the offensive glass as well.

So the, the gravitational pull that Angel Reese creates in that Dream system, it's awesome, and I think it's a big part of the reason why when oddsmakers in Vegas are going, "Eh, you know, this Dream team could mess around and make the finals for the first time since the other Angel, Angel McCoughtry, was leading the way."

way."Get 'em, Barbie.

Get 'em, Barbie

The only thing that can keep Atlanta from advancing to the finals is the Aces or the Mystics.

[laughs] So, I really-- I would lo- if Atlanta messed around and made it, that, that wouldn't bother me one little bit either, because they would have a chance to win.

I remember those Angel McCoughtry-led teams that were so dynamic, and they would get to the finals, and then it was just sweep city.

You know? Sue Bird and whoever she had as a running mate, whether it was Stewie or LJ, they would just, you know, MVP him to death, and it was over.

If you had to pick kind of a, a top four, a Mount Rushmore of sorts for the Atlanta Dream, are you gonna pick, uh, some of the players playing today actively on the roster? Or who are you going with?

Well, you've gotta go with Angel McCoughtry.

I mean, that's, you've gotta go with that.

And this is someone who didn't watch the Dream back then but has watched old games.

I mean, it's, it's not a chockfull, you, it's not your, your Sparks or your Liberty or anything.

There's not that many people that most casual fans could name, I don't think.

Then I'm gonna go with Rhyne, because I feel like we're in her era, just like the Angel McCoughtry era before.

Um, and then I'm gonna be controversial and I'm gonna say Angel Reese.

Everything is off the court, and just the relationships that's made, and just being able to hang out with j- other elite players and seeing the process, and just seeing them as humans and not just, like, what we go out there and do, where it looks like we have superpowers.

Um, I think, I think that's very-- I'd also say Angel McCoughtry's 360 layup.

[laughs]

[laughs] That's up there.

Um, in London, it's A'ja Jones we talked about on the pod.

What's next? Rio.

I think I agree with, uh, Tina in that Seimone is just always underrated in these experiences, I think in Rio especially, but I'm gonna throw Angel McCoughtry in there also.

Two players that come in and just immediately change the game and are unfazed by, by anything.
