She looks like she's about ready to launch. And that REALLY would have been an "in your face."

In all seriousness however, a fabulous article about our favorite sport...

Steve,

Wow—no dribbling. Well, looking at the woman, I can imagine the game wasn't designed for a lot of motion.

Seriously, what a great and revealing article—and apropos for the beginning of a new season.

Thanks,

Sam

Yup. No dribbling in his first vision of the game. So that makes him the first to forecast those great Celtic fast breaks where the ball never hit the floor!

And I think the woman in the photo was about to make her move on an overhead two-handed slam.
