anyone bunch clear gets heavier herself inches missed pounds scores sees taller thinks
She sees herself in a very clear way, which is atypical for an 18-year-old girl. She sees herself for what she is and who she is. If she scores 31 points, she thinks she should have because she's 3 inches taller and 40 pounds heavier than anyone guarding her. If she gets 20 rebounds, she thinks she should have because we missed a bunch of shots. She's very matter-of-fact about the whole thing.

It's a called play. It makes the defenders chose between Courtney and our 3-point shooter. We know we're not just Courtney. That's why we were 16-0 in the conference.
basketball enamored fantastic happen perhaps points terms turn
It is perhaps a new turn for our game, but I've never been enamored with it. In terms of the game, you just get two points for it. I'm not discounting the dunk. It's just that there are so many other fantastic things that can happen on a basketball court.

We're quite different. When these guys are getting a rebound a minute ... it changes everything.
