I think Ayana is a better dunker, but that’s just off the first video in my memories of Ayana. I do feel like each generation of “dunkers” that we are seeing is getting better. By better, I mean that their dunking ability is becoming more game functional. For that matter athleticism in the women’s game seems to grow every year. Players like Gabby Williams, and Aubrey, Griffin are outstanding athletes who do jaw dropping things every game.
And as long as we’re on this topic, let me blow off the dust on a favorite story of mine. Diana Taurasi had some kind of head to head shooting competition with a male reporter. Of course, she won handily. The reporter, looking for a justification that soothed his wounded pride, said “well, we were playing with a girls ball, that’s why I didn’t beat you.” Tarasi’s response was “well go get a men’s basketball beat you again. Hell, go get a golf ball and a bowling ball and I’ll beat you with those too!”
