College basketball smackdown

Needless to say, she's got some growing up to do to not let opposing players rattle her. And she's just a college freshman. This is the same girl that did slam-dunks in high school and is only one of two girls in college basketball to dunk twice in a game.

It reminds me of when Shaquille O'neal was at LSU, he was getting a lot of hard and intentional fouls by his junior year because he was well, pretty much unstoppable with the ball.

Anyway, Brittney needs to take boxing lessons. That punch she threw was pitiful. :D

so shaq actually made baskets? :P



Hell yeah. He was unstoppable if you got in his way. If he was about to dunk, you didn't dare get your hand up in the way or he was gonna mash the ball through, breaking your arm in the process. :P

It got bad enough that opposing players resorted to deliberate fouls on him on break-aways just to keep him from scoring. I saw one guy grab him around the waist from behind as he was about to jump for a basket. He almost lost his temper there.

After that, his coach Dale Brown told him that it was pointless for him to come back for his senior season, he was that damn good.

I remember when Ralph Sampson played for Virginia. He stood 7'-3" give or take. He went through some of the same crap. Saw him get mad enough to slam the ball on the floor hard enough for it to soar straight up almost to the damn ceiling! :o

He shoots a great percentage!

*as long as he is standing directly under the basket


:D It was easy for players to foul him because they knew he threw bricks for free throw shots. :ph34r:
