Message: [QUOTE="newfrontier, post: 5157025, member: 8141"] Dunking averages less than ten points per season in all games. Lots of bigs can dunk in practice but ery few can do it in a game. Oh, it’s fun in the rare occasions it happens, but it’s more important to spend your time shooting free throws than wasting time practicing you dunk. Interesting that you think practicing dunking is a waste of time for women. (and what about for men, a waste of time or not as well?). Well, Lilly's father has nearly the opoposite point of view. In an inteview with her, she saystp host that her Dad told her that the surest way for a woman to go to college and get a degree for free was/is to learn to dunk (and do it well of course). Here is a link to the interview. [MEDIA=youtube]TvkbBv1tkws[/MEDIA] timeline: 8:03. host brings up when and how he first saw and learned Lilly Williams was at a dunking contest. She was just age 14-15, already competing against boys (the boys?), and does well enough to get to the finals. At the same time/age , she was already receiving scholarship offers to play as some the the biggest and best schools. 10:40. Lilly describes how her Dad offered her 1000 dollars if she dunked. Her dad was big dunker in college. 13:05. Host and Lilly talk about her exceptional shot block skills. [/QUOTE]
