Nice video, but it did leave me wondering if she can do anything besides dunking.

Well.........our very own Victoria can dunk too.  I'm going to do a backflip if she ever does it during a game.

You know, I was impressed when Georgeann Wells did it the first time and I have actually found some of Candace Parker's dunks impressive, but I'm not overly impressed by Griner.  Its almost like some much emphasis was put on the dunk that it hurts her other development.

BTW - here is a nice story on Georgeann.

It's still good for the women's game.  Gets people out to see them play.........hopefully some of them will keep coming and become long term fans. 

Parker's dunks were barely dunks compared to what we will see Griner do before long.  lol

Who cares if she's had a sex-change operation or whatever else?  One cannot judge merely by her voice or appearance.  Whatever issues there are are between Baylor's organisation and her teammates and coaches. 
   Speaking of dunks, doesn't anybody remember Tennessee's Michelle Snow?  She dunked in games more than once, but was a total complete player.  She's still playing in the WNBA.

Amber Smith will definitely dunk before this season is over........of course she may need a lift from Dunlap to get it down, but who cares about the technicalities.  Would that count as an assist for Vic if she gives Amber a boost up?

In case anybody missed it, Victoria attempted and missed a dunk in Tuesday night's game against Tennessee-Martin, but all's well that ends well, because Franklin got the offensive rebound and scored on that possession.

Umhuh.......and in case anyone missed the fact that I posted weeks ago that she was capable of doing so, then you can check above and find it. 

That was a good time to see.  Stephanie Campbell snapped a picture of the benches reaction to the dunk attempt.  They were all smiles and cheers.  I commented on the picture and I'll say it again, it's awesome how these ladies are each other's biggest fans!!!!
