It does seem kinda eerie. She never even cracks a smile..teammates jumping around cheering...and nothing...blank.

First of all, she did laugh at the very end of the video, as her teammate is checking her uniform. I don't know what she's checking for, but as the teammate pulls on her knee pad, the dunker laughs.

Second of all, it's very common for very tall kids (and she's VERY tall for a 14-year old girl) to feel "different", since their stature is such a visible difference from all their friends. It's not sadness or being miserable. It's just being so obviously different from other kids at an age when all they want to do is be the same.

Good point. And it's even harder on a girl to be very tall, even with lots of talent. At least it is at that age. Especially if she's interested in boys.

I'll refrain from joking about various short boy... er ....men who post on this board.

Me? I show restraint all the time!

JR? Restraint is his middle name!

Chuck? Ok, he might be a little short on restraint.

Dan? He's...uh...well...

If she wasn't enjoying what she was doing, why did she continue to do it? She makes a whole bunch of dunks in this video, all in sequence.

Actually, I'm more impressed with the fact that she dribbled between her legs without looking. I remember watching Clyde Drexler who couldn't even dribble at all without looking at the ball.

Maybe she's just not an expressive kid. She's the only one that really knows whether she's happy or not anyway. Any other speculation is just that...speculation.

Unless she's a zombie.......
