Message: [QUOTE="Bigpetunia, post: 2560166, member: 1772"] Around here, we're getting used to referring to her as The Human Highlight Reel. Very few things are more fun than watching a replay of the second quarter of the SC game, and, especially, to just focus on Gabby's performance - the spectacular assists, the incredible box out play on A'ja with the subsequent leaping deflection of a defensive rebound to teammates, the breathtaking offensive rebound and putback (while the "announcers" were, predictably, chitchatting about something else) (one could substitute a letter there!) - the full inventory of things she does to help her team win games is almost inexhaustible. To do what she does, as successfully as she does, inevitably involves a lot of risk-taking. Her critics are always quick to point out the consequences of those risks when they blow up in her face. For me, my biggest concern about her is that she will try to rein it all in, to be less of a risk-taker in an effort to avoid screw-ups. Those instances are dwarfed by all of those things she does to contribute to wins, and to keep us fans transfixed. I'm already in mourning over the fact that we're in the final what?, nine weeks of seeing her in a UConn uniform. [/QUOTE]
