Message: [QUOTE="tomcat, post: 2363477, member: 961"] Thank you. Geez. Maybe folks need to get a grip. Talking about women players dunking is like talking about dogs dancing on their hind legs. What's surprising is not that they don't do it well. What's surprising is that they do it at all. In the case of women basketball players, dunking is unusual enough that a player who wants to try it in a game has to really think about the strategy. DO you do it to be "in your face" to the other team? Will that rile up the other team, which then stages a comeback? Do you do it when your team is safely ahead? Because what if you miss? Do you really want to be on someone's highlight reel as a lowlight? All this stuff rattles around in their heads -- with good reason -- and they decide a layup -- maybe a fancy one, like a reverse, but a layup nonetheless -- is the right call. And you know what? It is. [/QUOTE]
