Great Photo

Kelly climbs over seats to get to Maya. Kelly bottled up her emotions for 4 years and they all came pouring out last night.

one for the ages!

That is more emotion being shown by Kelly than the total of all other exhibitions of emotion she showed in her entire 4 year career. She gave new meaning to "game face". She is one of kind and will be missed.

I figured it was a botox thing.

Great ! Where is the original photo ? I would love a copy.

Kelly and Maya. Wow, what a combination of talent.

 

[Scotter]

Please let those two be reunited in Minnesota. THose two are kindred spirits in many ways as basketball players.

Kelly is such a team player. Coach hit the nail on the head when he talked about Kelly after the game last night. And I love the picture of KML and M double. Awesome.

Kelly got the end to her career that Maya should have had. And Maya was thrilled for her.

I think Kelly already was a very hard worker, but playing 2 years with Maya sure didn't hurt.

They probably both fed off of each other in that respect.

Looking at that picture (OP) and recalling, as Maya did, the aftermath of the 2011 semifinal, I have to wonder if the hyper-conscientious Kelly still carried the sting of that loss with her, having not "sent Maya out" the right way. Certainly, Miss Faris is all business, but I think she burdens herself with a lot of responsibility as well and that emotionally, it was something she never totally let go of. The only way to set things right would be to get another championship and share it (in a way) with Maya in that moment.

Obviously this is just armchair psychology But the photo and some of Kelly's post-game comments got me thinking.

That pic of Kelly and Maya shows what makes UConn WBB special. It may be my all-time favorite.

Found another gr8 shot of Kelly & Maya ... taken a few seconds after the one that started this thread.

Relying on those with more PC talent than myself to make this displayable (and to save you all from more clickin' )

Remember Geno's refrain that it makes his job so much easier when your best player is also your hardest worker? I absolutely believe that Maya impacted all five kids on this championship team that had an opportunity to play with her. And Kelly's impact in KML, already a hard worker in her own right, is well documented. That's what being part of a continuum is all about.
