I would like to think that the judges based their scores on the amount of skill involved in the dunks. Skill wise, yes the men were leaps and bounds better than her but, how many girls can do what she did? Only a hand full thus leading the judges to give her higher scores IMO. If a male would have ran up and dunked it one handed then obviously they would have scored 5' & 6's instead of 8's & 9's. I agree with whoever said that the men needed to complete the dunks. All that razzle dazzle goes for nothing if the ball doesn't go through the hoop!

Just being a young woman who dunked was both exciting and out of the ordinary. That's why she won.

ESPN did a piece the other day about the men who participate in the practice squads for womens' college teams. Pat Summit summed it up well, (paraphrase) "We play them because they're better than we are." Note, these are guys who don't get scholarships, don't get money, can't travel with the team. All they get out of it is excercise and competition. Why is that relevant, because they guys that have much talent are playing on scholarship somewhere. The best college women basketball players in the world are playing against guys who couldn't make a D3 team (generalization alert); and they're still getting beat in practice. (I make that assumption based on the fact that it wasn't addressed in the television segment.)

LDUB is right, If a guy had done the dunks that she did the crowd would have booed him. Her dunks were off of one foot and with one hand and with no authority. I read on espn.com the other day that she did an "exact replica" of Dee Brown's dunk in 91, apparently Dee Brown jumped off of one foot covering his eyes while he was on the ground and then looked directly at the basket while getting barely up high enough to do a weak dunk. Women's sports for the most part disgust me. Women should shouldn't try to act masculinely like men, it doesn't make sense genetically. It's the same thing as a man acting feminine like he's female aka crossdressers, drag queens. Politically correct brainwashing is really something. Maybe a drag queen will win the Miss America Pageant this year even though all of the other contestants were better, but hey, the drag queen is a man so cut him some slack.
