Look like they are having fun, or what?!!

Pheesa has movie star looks.

 

[oldude]

Lou and Pheesa are ecstatic thinking about all those open shots they'll get this year with Z on the floor.

 

[CL82]

All three are very photogenic and the chemistry looks great.

I think this year is going to be something special.

 

[Kaizen]

I find Z looks like this lady: charming and pleasant

+1 on all this. And esp. love the mismatch thing. And let's not forget who their 4th tallest player is: the girl who just isn't very athletic and can't jump very high: Gabby.

Sorry for getting ahead of myself, folks, but, in the words of the '79 Lakers: it's Showtime.

 

[Carnac]

I wonder if Az was ever as happy at Duke as she appears to be here? None of those smiles appear to be fake or contrived. Damn I'm glad she's here!

 

[NEforceUConn]

Where's Gabby? Nurse, eh, not so much.

Yes I like Kia alot, but she is not as talented as those three plus Gabby.

So 4 serious potential All Americans at UConn this year, WOW!

 

[JordyG]

Pheesa has movie star looks.

Agreed. But none of them are slouches.

 

[JordyG]

Looking at LaChina Robinson in profile before the game and the woman looks like an idealized bust of Nefertiti. Amazing. Sorry guys but when someone says women are our "better half" the truth is they're our better 3/4's.

Perhaps Z, Phee, and Lou are three being pushed for WCB All-Americans.

All Hollywood has to do is find a few hot guys around 6-5 to 6-9 to star with them. Or they need to be in Dudley-Moore-style movies. I'd play short comic relief opposite any of them.

What about The Gabulous One??? She's an All-American in my eyes!!!

Well I'm short and comic, but looking at me would be no relief.

And congrats to Maya for her fourth WNBA championship. Rebecca Bronson's fifth! Wow!

 

[Scud49]

Like someone mentioned, there is genuine sparkle in their eyes - I really love that. I'd like to see those 3 , plus Gabby and Kia, in a similar shot here soon...

 

[MilfordHusky]

If we have a photo of 2 or more players, there has to be a height comment. Napheesa is 6'1", Lou's bun is 6'5", and Azura is 6'9".

 

[MilfordHusky]

I still love seeing a player in the UConn #23 jersey. The last time I saw that, the player made our last 2 or 3 baskets in a tight national championship game. She also made an NCAA record 398 three-pointers. The prior #23 was a 4-time consensus AA, 3-time NPOY, 2-time NCAA champion, 3,000 point scorer, and record holder (at the time) with 150 wins. Azura picked a good number!

How does Maya stand now regarding her "streak" of never going two years in a row without a championship?

Very well! WNBA championships in years 1, 3, 5, and 7.

She also has had multiple championships in some years: NCAA and FIBA World Cup, Spanish and Euro, WNBA and China, etc.

Thanks oldude. I was wondering why they seemed so ecstatic. Now when they hit many of those open shots, the BYers will be just as ecstatic. (smile)

Don't be surprised if Nurse's play this year makes her a serious candidate for AA. If she picks up where she left off last season, well?????

Diana who loved Magic and the Lakers said Showtime in WCBB is in Storrs ,Connecticut!

 

[hjoerring]

Pheesa has movie star looks.

Know what you mean; but is that still the way to become a movie star?

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Oh, I dunno, I could see Katie Lou thinking "that spot in the middle is mine."
