Message: [QUOTE="NOI33, post: 2245347, member: 5730"] Or...maybe...(just going on a limb here)...the people you think are "far and few" are smart enough to not get sucked into the unwarranted hate she has received for years. It is actually these people who have followed WCBB and the WNBA intently, and they are aware of how well her skill-set and God-given abilities will translate to the next level. I most definitely agree that Diamond has some growth ahead of her (someone identified this as a lack of "emotional maturity", which I think is more accurate than saying she is generally immature...she's actually quite mature for her age). She seems to have an ongoing mental battle with doing what she thinks others want her to do, and doing what makes her happy. It's normal at that age and we'd all be lying if we say we didn't struggle with such problems even now. The problem with Diamond is that she already has such a dynamic persona, so everything she decides to do is looked at under a magnifying glass by people who want to find fault in her. You can deride someone's game, but I'm disturbed by people on here making sweeping remarks about her as a person. It's just so odd. This isn't directed at you, I'm just speaking my mind... Oh but I agree with the poll idea:D [/QUOTE]
