Fly, Gabby, fly!

[VAMike23]

While the 'fashionistas' were babbling, Gabulous was doing this:

More than a little reminiscent of the ND shot with Brianna Turner . . .

Will there ever be another?

 

[VAMike23]

It’s a bird, it’s a plane , it’s . . . .

Gabulous !

 

[Scud49]

While I love that shot beyond belief, it's incredibly sad to me we are only going to see her flying in a UCONN uni for a max of 3 more games.....

And the more I look at it, that photo is so perfect on so many levels - Geno in the background, a Duke player looking up in awe, Gabby's focus and elevation....love it....!

Wow how many feet in the air is she?

two. she has two feet in the air, a left and a right

 

[Gus Mahler]

What a great picture. I don't expect to see another like her in my lifetime.

 

[Goodgood]

Too bad she missed the layup!

 

[PAHuskeyFan]

Wow how many feet in the air is she?

Taking into consideration photo angle, barometric pressure, altitude, wet bulb and dry bulb temperatures, wind speed, humidity, estimated approach speed and a variety of other factors, I would estimate her feet are 32 inches above the floor, then 5'11" in height, plus arm reach means she could probably have dunked the ball.

This figure, cast in bronze, would make a great statue

Not saying it would ever happen, but what an image. It's literally perfect. Michelangelo could not do better!

'Gabby in Flight' at the base.

Thats a great photo and dang she has some bunnies.

But both her knees are 3 ft. over Geno's head.

I'd put one in my front yard and light it at night. There'd be a bench in front of it where people could sit and admire it. A small grotto beside it with a flat screen showing her highlights on a continuous loop with appropriate music playing.

I guess you can tell the depth of my admiration for her.

I mean she's solid and all but she's not Air Jordan.

Bite your tongue!

BTW, I miss Kerith Burke.

I was following up on Sonny's question. It seems implicit that he and I would be referring to women's basketball.

BTW, she's beyond "solid."

 

[hugefan]

Wow, hope Gabby gets a look at that.

 

[CTyankee]

I was sitting with the Misses in the corner three rows from the floor at that end when Gabby made that drive. I was incredulous of the height. Kudos to the photographer who caught it on film.

From Youtube contributor JR,

"Kings and Kingdoms will all fade away, but their's (sic) something about that player.... Gabby"

 

[NewCorn]

Nope! Air Gabby. Who is Air Jordan?

What a shot! Cruel and beautiful at once. You cut the boy to the quick! You get a nasty first class for that one.

 

[Scud49]

Too bad she missed the layup!

She made the shot, you made me double check- it was off a steal she made and took it the length of the court.

No raining on my Gabby parade today.

 

[NewCorn]

I knew I had heard of "Air Jordan."

But Air Jordan was able to achieve a low-altitude earth orbit...

Wonder what go through the Duke player's mind at that moment?

As a freshman, Gabby once tried to go into orbit without her sneakers. That didn't work too well. So it must be the shoes.
