She cuts, she jukes, she burns. She even shows the boys how tackles are supposed to be made. Good stuff.

3:14 so awesome

It's sad because she obviously has talent, but I can't imagine she'll be able to continue playing once the boys begin hitting puberty.

I know -- that part almost outed me as watching YouTube at work. I had to cleverly disguise my laughter as a fit of coughing.

But she's got a good 3 years of dominance left, I'd say -- some of those boys are already much bigger than her, and yet she makes em look silly. Long term, I'm sure some of the skills she's picking up now will translate to another sport down the road.

I think I read she's going to be on the cover of wheaties? Could have been a joke or something, I dunno, thought I sawthat on twitter earlier.

I think that would be awesome. She deserves it as much as anyone else.

Wheaties made a one-off box for her. Not for resale.

what is a one-off box, exactly?

 

[BrianFromWA]

A special edition made for advertising, usually. When my wife was doing NBA art, she was requested to do an original of Jason Kidd on the Nets so the NBA could place it in Bernie Mac's man cave in Guess Who. It wasn't one that she sold afterwards or made prints of.
