High School Girl Can Dunk. Easily.

This is Brittney Griner, a high school girl who can dunk a basketball. Easily:

That video actually shows Griner when she was a 6-foot-5 sophomore. She's now a 6-foot-7 junior, and she doesn't just dunk in practice, she also dunks in games, and not just those "dunks" where the player's fingers are about an inch above the rim. I'm talking about dunks where her elbows are hitting the rim.

Griner, who has 29 double-doubles in 29 games this year, has committed to Baylor, and the Bears' recruiting class of 2009 is being called one of the best in women's basketball history. I have a feeling we're going to see her dunk a lot in the coming years.

WHAT IS
BACK PORCH?
The easy answer:
Back Porch exists because FanHouse doesn't have a basement for its bloggers. The bigger picture? BP covers sports news that's funny, off-beat and controversial. In short, it's the other side of sports, covered with an edge. Enjoy.
