White MEN can't jump...but black GIRLS can dunk!


White men can’t jump…but black girls can dunk! 

Let’s be honest, Robert Griffin III is a legit athlete.  He was the 2011 recipient of the Heisman Trophy and will likely be the 2nd overall pick in this years NFL Draft.  But right now even RG3 will have to take a back seat to another Baylor University student athlete. 

Say hello to my little friend….I mean 6’8 Brittany Griner.  She can dunk!

She wears jersey #42 for the Baylor Bears Women’s Basketball team and also laces up a men’s size 18 shoe.  Be jealous Shaq!  Now, although some may have questions regarding Miss Griner, there is no question that she can flat out ball!  She is the #1 women’s basketball player in America and is leading The Lady Bears squad to an undefeated season.  They are currently 38-0 and are straight dominating the women’s basketball tournament.  So “All-That-Hoop-Laaa” that Griffin has generated is being taken to a “higher level” by Griner.  I have no doubt that she will lead her team to a championship this year which will solidify herself not only as Baylor’s star athlete, but a nationally known collegiate star.  

I’d like to think that I am good at basketball.  However, in a recent conversation with several of my good friends we have all come to the conclusion that not one of us could back her (Griner) down in the low post, let alone dunk on her.  I want no part of her on the basketball floor and have mad respect for her athletic ability. 

I guess size does matter after all…just ask Brittany…Griner that is.
