Me too!

I hope it's her mother and not her father who wants to be like Diana.

Here's a girl that will probably burn out from Basketball by the time she's old enough to attend High School.

Are you just finding out about her? TonyC told us about her when either Jaden or Tony was in second grade. (I can't remember which one it was.)

 

[MilfordHusky]

Doesn't everyone.

Nope. I want to be like Maya.

 

[Icebear]

Nope. I want to be like Maya.

Maybe both, and Sue, and Tina, and...

 

[reno tony]

Me too!

Why do you want to be like Diana?

And you know that how? Your posts have been foggy/wrong as of late and you have not burned out. I can't say you "probably' will because I have no idea.

... she has mastered ...dribbling, which she probably learned at a very young age and the ability and confidence to use that skill... most impressive.

Hope this doesn’t sound like bragging, but,… I mastered it at an even earlier age. In fact, thanks to reading the Boneyard, I now can even dribble sitting down, at my desk, in my sleep, at work.

How did everyone else do 3-pointers when they were nine? I don't know because they didn't exist when I was 9. (God I'm old! Dunking was illegal when I was at UCONN. Hanson ruled)

I think the only thing this kid has to worry about is if she never grows.

Yeah, but we meant dribbling with a ball.

ooops

I don't even know where the high road is.

Uh, Meyers; it's by yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes.

The 3-pointers were remarkable, but the way the kid was breaking ankles was super-awesome-remarkable!
