I have not been ignoring your request but I did struggle with it for technical reasons. The only copy I could find of "Simply The Best" was on a self running CD. It uses software that I do not possess anymore. However, I was able to retrieve all the photos and graphics that went into the show. From that I have recreated the piece as best I could as a video. It's probably 98% accurate recreation of the original with mostly the transitions being different. As an introduction then, this was a piece I originally created in the weeks after the 2004 championship. Diana had just moved on from UConn after her third championship, had been drafted by Phoenix, and was working out with the Team USA preparing for the Olympics in Greece. Many of us knew we would likely never see another player like her. She was unique and at that time there was consensus that she was the best to ever wear a Husky Uniform at UConn. I was not yet doing video in 2004 so I pulled together 80-90 photos of her I had and created a slideshow to the Tina Turner's Simply The Best". The song and the player couldn't have been a better match. For those that did not watch her play through those years, maybe this is not very interesting but for some of us that so thoroughly enjoyed her years at UConn, it hit the mark.
