While I don't think that dunks are the best indicator of skill in basketball, they are probably the best demonstration of sheer athleticism. So it's worth noting that over the course of the last two Los Angeles Sparks games, rookie Candace Parker has dunked the ball for the 2nd and 3rd times in WNBA league history.
By the way, the San Antonio Silver Stars (8-5) are currently second in the Western Conference behind the Sparks (10-3). Silver Stars point guard Becky Hammond is often referred to as the 'Steve Nash' of the WNBA. I watched some of their game against the Houston Comets yesterday. Entertaining stuff.
Hammond is also currently embroiled in a controversy over this Summer's Olympic Games: the US team didn't offer her a spot, even though she's one of the league's top MVP candidates. So she established residency in Russia, and is going to play on their squad. International intrigue, dunks...highly watchable stuff, I say.
