Ah, the "Invincible Queen" remains so..

Does anybody know if BG has a Chinese League "nom du hoop" as Maya does? If not, can we make some nominations?

Well, Brit got the WNBA title this last year so it's not like she's NEVER won against Maya...

Did Maya really take 38 shots in this game? Surely that is not right as the box score shows.

Maya out scored AND out rebounded Griner.

Who's surprised really? For WNBA player of the year last year, Griner was never in the equation. It was between two UConn players, Maya won it.

Phoenix won the title, but it wasn't all Griner's doing...there was that other player of the year candidate - what's her name.....you know, the MVP....

True but Griner is finding her way. She made great strides between her rookie and sophomore seasons. She's a great kid and I hope she has a lot of success. Of course she's a post player so without the ball in her hand, she's not the one to direct traffic like Dee, or be able to score from everywhere like Maya. Still, wish Brit a long and successful hoops career, and much happiness with her fiancee Glory...

BG shooting 75% from the floor so far this season. In the past 4 games she is averaging 1 miss per game. She is going to come back to the WNBA as an even better player. I can hardly wait to see her progression over the next 5 years.

In a rematch Griner's Beijing team spanks Shanxi 73-51 behind Griner's 29 points (11-17) and 10 rebounds. Moore had a rough shooting night (4-18) with 13 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists.
