BRITTNEY GRINER

If you have followed sports, ladies sports, you are aware of this gal.........

The numbers are impressive -- Height: 6-8, Shoe size: 17 (men's), Wingspan: 86-inches, NCAA record 736 blocked shots, undefeated 40-0 National Championship season her junior year at Baylor, three-time First Team All-American, 18 career collegiate dunks -- but its the one-of-kind nature of Griner's size, strength, speed and athleticism that has captured the attention of every true sports fan.

The women's game simply hasn't seen a player who can run the court like a guard and also employ a back-to-the-basket, spin-move, two-handed slam dunk during the regular flow of a game. It just doesn't happen. Until now. Hyperbole Alert: Griner may indeed be the women's equivalent to Wilt Chamberlain.
