Patrick Ewing Jr. deserves a trip to the Gold Club

to pull of something like this:
That's one of the better college dunks you'll ever see. It certainly stirred
something in Drew Neitzel. The way he congratulated ...
LADY VOLS ADVANCE TO THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
rockytoptalk.com 4/7/2008 — Load-bearing, that thing. Also serves as nice decoy. Image by Adrian Barnes It was only fitting that Candace Parker put her team on her sore shoulder and carried them to another appearance in an NCAA championship game. Parker went only 6-27 for 13 points, but she had 15 rebounds and the team's back all night. The team had hers as well. Shannon Bobbitt hit three ...

Congratulations To Candace Parker and the Tennessee Vols
thestartingfive.net 4/9/2008 — Candace Parker and the Vols shut down one of the most prolific triangle offenses ever.

"COVER GIRL": The One Thing Candace Parker Can't Do
cosellout.com 4/14/2008 — Candace Parker can shoot, pass, board, dribble, and has been dunking since age 14. She'll go on any playground in America and embarass all the boys. She will dislocate her shoulder, get it popped right back in, rub some dirt on it and continue playing. But there is one thing that Candace Parker cannot do... and it makes her like just about every other female athlete in sports...

I'm not here to bash women's hoops because, well, I have no quarrels with it. Do I watch? Um, no. But I'm sure plenty of people do (see: these guys ), and I'm sure the female participants are quite talented (see: Candace Parker).
Having said that, we can all agree that women's basketball doesn't hold down a large piece of real estate in the overall sporting landscape. ...

Well, that was a sad ending to an exciting if not particularly well-played game. In case you missed it, LSU held a 1-point lead with 7.1 seconds to play with Tennessee taking out the ball underneath its own basket. Out of a timeout, we put on a full-court man-to-man press, but Candace Parker beat the defender to the sideline and then outran her down the wing before hitting an open player ...
