Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 5157939, member: 1220"] Not really! The shorter player used her lower center of gravity to move the taller one off her postition. She basically undercut her. The taller player had poor postioning skills which allowed the shorter player to take the advantage. Griner also was never taught proprer skills as well. You widen your stance and lower your center of gravity. Even in the outside postition, the taller player could have used her leg length to her advantage by creating extended pivot points to spin around the shorter player. People need to watch the centers in the fifties and sixties in how they created space and leverage for themselves. That seems to be a skill that is lost due to the elimination of the traditional center postition in the NBA and mens basketball. [/QUOTE]
