She is almost reaching the rim. She can dunk?

She is clearly ABOVE the rim looking down. Can she dunk? Of course she can, unless she hits her head on the rim first.

Note the author of the post with that "photo" ...

Biff photoshopped the image of the backboard and rim--apparently from the 2012 London Olympics--into the original stock photo from the ND game. Looks nice, tho ;)
 
I predict that shot is going to find its way into the arena somewhere, blow up poster style.

I hope the photog had a pretty big MP camera :D:D:D

This is a great photo. But..............the more I look at it, the more it looks like it's been photo shopped (if indeed it has, an excellent job), unless Turner is in the process of falling down, and someone caught this action at just the precise moment. :rolleyes:

It's not out of line when you consider the photographer may be kneeling or sitting on the floor with the camera pointed skyward.

Knew all of the above. Was just having fun at the Newbie's expense.

Your ground crew for this flight is the 6'4" Brianna Turner.

If I were Gabby I would have that blown up and put in my bedroom. But from what I've heard about Gabby, she's far too humble for that.

I'm not too humble AND I have a bedroom.

i looked at my recording to see this picture was taken...this is the most likely place

Nope. Good try, but you need to watch the rest of the half. It actually comes with about 5 seconds remaining, and its against the correct defender (Turner), who is definitely on the ground.

I'm not sure my picture is embedding - it's just a screen cap from this YouTube recording:



If that also doesn't, work, its at about 38:50 on the YouTube recording (time would be little different on ESPN version)

By the way, it was a miss...

Looking at it closely, I don't see any evidence of photoshopping. Looks like the photographer shot it from just above floor level, the angle is terrific.
 
Gabby's hustle and athleticism makes her a highlight reel staple. She is fun to watch. If you have the ability to view the ND game on DVR, watch the opening tip in slow motion. She is so explosive! Turner eventually reaches her jump's summit and hits Gabby's hand to send the ball out of play.

By the way, I think Gabby missed the shot referenced above because she was concerned with landing on Turner and injuring herself.
 
Both shots show Gabby way over Turner...I thought the angle was a different but she soared in several places- thanks for the other perspective.
 
Gabby had a great game. That being said, this photo was taken right at the end of the first half. Turner was trying to draw the foul, and as the shutter snapped her butt was about 2 inches off the floor. Gabby leaped much higher earlier in the half when she snared a rebound right over Turner.
 
Don't look at Turner as a reference point,look where she is in accordance with the rim.The ball is approximately level with the rim and she has not extended her arm upward.If you want to see below her look for a trampoline.
 
I want a Fathead of that pic!


...image quality is too low to make one with the uploaded pic.
:(

I looked at the game last night for entertainment purposes only. This is an actual photo. No photo shop or graphic manipultion here. This was the last play of the half. Turner slipped. Gabby missed the shot. The shot seems to have been taken from a low angle. :cool:

It looked more like a flop versus a slipt.
