A Sea Of Red

Twice in one game! Just saw DC reporting on it. This chick takes one step and throws it down with one hand...and she is 16!

A 16-year-old basketball player's dunking abilities have become a YouTube sensation.

Brittney Griner towers above her teammates at six-foot, eight inches tall.

Yeah, when I was working at the NBC station here in Houston we were the first station to do a story on here last season when she first started jamming. The ABC station is just now catching on

She plays for a school close by my house where the legendary "Kingwood Classic" is based (if you know your summer AAU ball then you know what I'm talking about).

Her games has been fairly limited up until recently when she has started show something other than her height. But she can certainly put on a show in open space.

saw it on our local ABC affiliate as well.

they report she is heading to Baylor next fall and expect her to be up to 6' 11"

I really need to put my glasses on...I swore the topic was "16 year old girl drunk"

She's only a junior right now. But I believe she has verballed to Kim Mulkey's program.

Verbals mean nothing!! Get on the plane Alexis!

In a recent game she came 1 assist short of a quadrupal double.

And take SLY with you, because he knows the area.

First of all, that's the least feminine girl I've ever seen in my life. She's obviously a hermaphrodite. Secondly, if youa re 6'8" and can't dunk that's sad regardless of gender.

That's one of the rudest and stupidest posts I've read here, and all based on seeing a few seconds of bad video on the internet.

BTW, our own 6'8 Katie Feenstra cannot dunk, and she has had a pretty good career.

I'm sorry but that was hilarious.

OF: I believe it was "tongue-in-cheek"

clarification.....she did in HS before she messed up her knee Freshman year here.

Wasnt this on one of the ESPN shows today? I think I saw her

I've seen more video of this "girl" in the past. I saw an upclose video of "her" dunking in practice. Some of those scrawny little cross country guys have bigger chests than "she" does and "she's" more manly looking than Joakim Noah. I think "she" is running around with a bit more testosterone than "her" teammates and opponents. She probably even runs down the court and pounds her chest even more ferociously than Joakim. I can just imagine seeing her having to tie her shoe then running down the court pounding her chest whilst screaming repeatedly "I'M A BEAST, I TIED MY SHOE!!!!"

I've seen 5'10" guards throw down windmill dunks and I've seen a 6'3" 45 year old man who hadn't played a lick of basketball since college do a drop step and dunk tomahawk style with two hands in the past, so unless you got some injury preventing you from jumping much, if you are 6'8" and can't dunk it's sad and nothing will change my opinion on that lol.

So Medic, do you still think he was being tongue in cheek?

I will alter my original position only to say that flamesbball84, your second post is MUCH ruder and stupider than your first one. What is the point of saying those things? Does it make you feel more like a man to attack a 16 year old girl? I'm perplexed.

well- maybe I'm not the best person to ask.

I have a hideously obnoxious sense of humor.

dark dark dark

dude, come on. She's a high school girl. Since when it is cool to make fun like that? She's not like some idiot celeb running around acting like an idiot, begging for your attention.

Id like to nominate this for dumbest post of the year.

You sound like a jack***. Posts like the ones you've posted here are pretty offensive and would be cause for suspension by the moderators on many of the boards I frequent.

She did dunk in practice. That's what I have heard. 6-8 or not, that was the most forceful dunk I've seen in a women's game. Certainly she will be a top recruit.

she jumped like 18"...i'm sorry i'm not super impressed....maybe that just because i'm a cynical d-----bag...but the girl standing straight up with one hand in the year her wrist is nearly 9' above the ground...

we had 2 girls that were able to dunk when i was highschool...

if she was 6' then i'd be highly impressed...

i just don't think its national news...

good for her i guess...congrats on being taller than everyone else...lets see how good you do when you are defended....

oh man i sound like a jerk...

18 inches is a pretty good vertical for a girl of that height. The taller they are the more coordination they lose. She is very athletic for being a girl and that tall. To my knowledge, no girl has dunked that is shorter than 6-5.

I've thought for some time that you were nuts, and I now have proof!

Finally someone else notices the OBVIOUS.



There's the other video I was talking about. Same person, still looks like Joakim Noah.
