Discussing a player who scored more points than CC in a different league and different era does NOT equate to arguing that player is better. Some people -- myself included -- don't really care about records but do care about the history of the game simply for the sake of history. In particular, it helps to better understand the struggle of women in sports to have their efforts recognized and valued as legitimate. The historical messiness and conflict between the AIAW and the NCAA gets at the heart of that topic. It's not about diminishing CC. On the contrary, I'm even more grateful and proud of CC's accomplishments because it has helped shed a light on this issue.
