In that vein DT was the baddest of all badasses. I was at the "mooing" game in Knox when she was getting beat up all night away from the ball and the refs were turning their heads. With about 5 minutes left in the second half, with UCONN up by 4, she got absolutely clothslined - with no call of course. She just got up off the floor, demanded the ball, and swished an NBA 3 to push the lead to 7. The mooing all-of-a-sudden shushed - like TOTAL quiet. That was the most badass basketball move I ever saw.
I was at that game too, but that "punch" game was a couple years earlier, when she was a sophomore. UCONN blew them out by 20+, but the crowd was in denial and was believing a comeback could happen until the very end. Believe the "mooing" game was her senior year. It was a much closer game and the crowd was really nasty - they genuinely hated DT by then and were really uncouth. Only sporting event I've been to where I felt a little bit at risk of ganged up on and beaten.
I think on here, I am the young.

I cant believe DT did such a thing on someone else court after a big win... I thought Diggins only did such things
The explanation is simple. Skylar and Diana were both (college) badasses.
Skylar's work was done when she was on the XL court
Her play should be the only thing that matters, don't let anyone's antics blind you from their true talent and confidence. Diana is just as big a showboater as many of the others you may not "like".
But I do think an excellent topic for a battle royal could be: Is an Athlete's play all that should matter to sports fans. Just not now, okay?
DT's "Call me" taunting was very playful, and was in response to the outrageous (but good-natured) BS she had been getting from the Crazies all day. I didn't think it was disrespectful, but interested in the views of any of our Dukies who might have been there....??
