South Carolina Women's Basketball Coach Calls LeBron James Out on Twitter for Take on Lady Vols
By Michael Luciano
The SEC Network compiled an all-time starting five of both Tennessee Lady Volunteers players coached by the late Pat Summit and South Carolina Gamecocks players coached by Dawn Staley. Stars like Candace Parker and Tamika Catchings populate the Tennessee side, while Tiffany Mitchell and A'Ja Wilson could suit up for the Gamecocks.

LeBron James seems to think Summit's Lady Vols would win convincingly, with only the UConn women's all-time team being able to give Tennessee a run for their money, Staley doesn't seem pleased that James isn't giving her Gamecocks much of a chance.
As dominant as Catchings, Parker, and Chamique Holdsclaw were, Wilson, who was picked No. 1 overall in the 2018 WNBA Draft by the Las Vegas Aces, might be the best player on the court in this hypothetical game.
Wilson down low and Staley on the sidelines gives the Gamecocks a fighting chance against just about anyone.
Staley's Gamecock teams might have the edge in terms of size and athleticism, but Summit's Volunteers are deep at every position. It's a shame that most of the players in these starting fives never got the chance to play against one another, as we might have gotten some all-time performances out of them.
