My hope: Griner flashing her incandescent smile again on a basketball court.
about dunking, cancer and the frontiers of human potential — and Griner, a Baylor undergraduate, was one of the great dunkers of all time.She had already dunked 13 times in her college career, more than any other woman in the history of competitive basketball.. Her go-to was a one-footed leap to a right-handed jam, but in practice she'd throw the ball off the glass to herself and throw it down, to the delight of her teammates.
Often triple-teamed by a storm of Longhorns from the University of Texas, their arms flapping like rain against a cross-country semi-truck, Griner would pass to an open teammate for an easy bucket, or spin smoothly away from the extra defenders and scoop the ball against the glass and into the hoop.
