I like this paragraph about Seimone:

"Seimone has never given up her space to anybody. I didn’t think that was how it worked. Coming up, I thought it was, you know: You win some you lose some. But then I watched Seimone in games. And she never lost. Listen: never. She would get that space, time after time, player after player. And then she would just victimize people. Break ankles. Turn to dust. I mean, real crime scenes: Here lies so-and-so. Hooped to death by Seimone Augustus. It was unreal."

Just stumbled on this column about being a defensive stopper and the best five offensive players she has played against. Number five is obvious, and very complimentary:

(That Stanford education sure does turn out good writers!)

I knew Candice was a smart girl, but I was amazed by how well this was written! And not even just "for a jock," she is an outstanding writer period!

"There’s only one main court. And to me, it will always be the one with Diana Taurasi on it."

I don’t use this word lightly, but playing against Diana is honestly a privilege. They’re my favorite games to play, by far. She’s just … the measure. It’s that simple. She’s the best. She’s the GOAT.

She was probably a good writer before she got into Stanford. She's the kind of people who get in there. I was involved in some research projects at Stanford, and everyone I met was special in some way.

The difference between the indefinite article and the definite article. Diana was definitely great.
