There was a smooth aesthetic to her movement on the court that has been unparalleled. Nothing ever seemed choppy or forced. In someways it was like watching ballet, always fluid with bursts of energy but never disrupting the flow. It could at times be mesmerizing. She also projected supreme confidence. You just knew at any point she could totally take over a game and carry her team and as quickly fall back in the rhythm of her team's play. Her game stats just built naturally and many times you would be surprised at just how dominate on both ends of court she had been. If she sat for a few minutes, more than wanting her production back on the floor, you just felt cheated in not being able to see the beauty with which she played the game. I feel Paige is among the greatest players to have ever worn a UConn uniform and feel truly blessed to once again see her healthy and not only reclaiming her freshman form but expanding on it. My hope is that she remains injury free and can be her best self, which is amazing. I also loved and appreciated watching Diana, Breanna, Sue, Tina and all the other great Huskies. All of them have made countless spectacular plays and had dominating games, seasons and careers. When I visualize beautiful basketball in my minds eye though I see Maya floating in with the ball raised high for a layup, rising up for a gorgeous release on a three, or going full court in long smooth strides to block a shot with outstretched fingertips. Her career stats are unparalleled as well: points (#1) 3.036; rebounds (#2) 1,276; steals (#4) 310; assists (#10) 544; blocks (#9) 204 and most 3pt baskets made (#4) 311. [/QUOTE]
