Where does rainmaker ever suggest that Parker is a superior player, or even dunker, when compared to the boys HS all stars? that is the only argument you make here - she is wrong because the boys will be better ballplayers. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't argue that Parker will be in the NBA or beat any of the boys all-stars in one-on-one.

Rainmaker has said that comments like you made in another thread, such as girls shouldn't do "boys" sports, have no basis. I agree with her, as do many others. She has said that whining about a dunk contest when a girl wins is sour grapes. I also agree - the dunk contest is without any standards for judging. The judges in this contest decided that a girl making three straight unspectacular dunks was superior to a boy making and missing some spectacular dunks. The crowd was entertained, which is the main purpose of a dunk contest, not to see who will be the superior NBA player. Whining about the result, like you continue to do, makes rainmakers case more solid. It's actually kind of funny that you can't understand this.
