I saw Becky Hammon play last night in person for the first time. She had a very, very good game. Her career stats speak for themself. Coming back to the court after half time she even stopped to sign a childs basketball.
Yet several people have commented in other threads that they are not Becky Hammon fans. Why not?

I don't see why anyone wouldn't like Becky Hammon. Unless they think she's too cute. Or a hot dog. Or a traitor.
All of which are bogus reasons.
Just watch her play! Not only does she shoot well (and sometimes under the most trying conditions) but she rebounds, and is a great passer. She usually leads her team in assists, or comes close to it. She always seems to know who is where, and where she can pass and where she can't. And she steals. And she's always encouraging her teammates, whether on the court or from the bench. What's not to like?

I do like Becky - she's been my favorite player in the W for a few years now. Great passer in a pure point guard sense and can also put up 20 points a game - from anywhere. She's got some of the quickest defensive hands I've seen and is as close to an unselfish player as I've seen.

if i had to be totally honest.... i'd have to say that i'm ashamed to admit that my problem isn't really with hammon..... but with her rabid fans.... some of her fans are simply basketball fans.... but some of her fans are of the brittany spears variety..... their all consuming defense of anything becky is irritating to me..... i know it's not logical..... not right.... not fair to becky..... but i tend to dislike athletes that are overhyped..... that and that she gets away with stuff on court simply because she's becky hammon.....
sorry becky....

Becky fan in the house! :-) I think she serves the WNBA very well and we can't ask for anything more.

I think she is a great player and people are making a big deal out of nothing concerning her career choice. I do not dislike her, she has game and I can't take nothing from her. I am just a Dream Fan, my preference.

When I was just eight years old, Becky Hammon peed in my cornflakes.
I've never forgiven her.
