Who's the New Iverson?.....Cappie Pondexter



 For me, when Allen Iverson left the league, a little of the wow factor left with him. Love him or hate him, you must admit, the future Hall of Fame guard left it all on the floor on both ends and never ceased to amaze us all, being a 6ft offensive killer and scrappy on defense. Clearly unstoppable and when I see Cappie Pondexter, I get the same feeling as when I watched AI. Cappie Pondexter is an All-Star guard for the New York Liberty of the WNBA. In fact, if she had debuted first I would probably be saying, he reminds me of her! Cappie Pondexter is an All-Star guard for the New York Liberty of the WNBA that can give it to a defender how ever they want it.  She'll do it off of the dribble, drive to the basket, long range jumper, mid range game and destroy your defense with passing and penetration. Crucial stop and go, crazy step back, lightning quick first step, and an amazingly fast release are just a few things that she has in the arsenal. She never shies away from the moment. Never backs down. You can actually see the fear in defender's eyes when she has an isolation situation with the shot clock/ game clock running down.




With career averages of 19.3 PPG, 4.3 APG, 4 RPG Cappie is known league wide for her competitive spirit and selflessness. Yeah she gets her shots, and a scorer should, but whether its diving for a loose ball, running the floor like a Lambo Gallardo, or playing the entire game plus an overtime or two, if it will help her team, she doesn't hesitate to deliver. She's a two time WNBA Champion (2007 and 2009 with Phoenix), picked up the finals MVP in 07' and makes the All-Star team like every year.
If you want to see an exciting, action packed guard with relentless drive, you better tune in to the very next New York Liberty's game, because she's no joke!! Hey Cappie, are you sure you and Iverson aren't family on the low??LOL. Home girl....you're OUTSTANDING!!
