Brittney Griner can play basketball...
That is not in dispute...
She rebounded from her 2-for-11 performance in Game 1 of the Western Conference semis against Los Angeles to go 9-for-9 and set a playoff record for success from the floor...
Griner also can dunk the basketball...
Check out what she did yesterday as her most recent example...

Ref Cam Debuts In WNBA
((HT: WNBA))
Lamont Simpson will be the answer to the trivia question:
Who was the WNBA ref that wore the funky glasses and camera on his head when Indiana played Phoenix...
In a league that is trying to find some kind of identity and some other kind of media recognition (other than scoff and/or ridicule when they play), the league decided to push the envelope a little bit...
And this is what they came up with...
"The first half, it took some adjusting to, especially when you started running and actually broke a sweat," the veteran official told wnba.com. "The goggles started to loosen up and the sweat around the band started to loosen up. The first half was pretty much just adjusting the headset."
Here's some of what he saw...
From the league:
Candace Parker tweeted "Ref cam is the most hilarious invention! Omg...comedy"
"Today's broadcast was a great opportunity to be at the forefront in terms of providing viewers with unique perspectives on our game," WNBA President Laurel Richie said. "The use of Ref Cam certainly offered a previously unseen point of view that really brought viewers into the action, adding a whole new visual and audio component to the experience."
It will be interesting to see just how much the league goes to this, or they'll treat it like a cool novelty...

Griner Dunks Twice, Delle Donne Wins...
((HT: WNBA on ESPN))
It was one of the more anticipated match-ups in the debut of the 2013 WNBA season with Chicago and Phoenix...
No, not because it was Chicago and Phoenix, but because it was Elena Delle Donne and Brittney Griner...
Griner gets history, but Delle Donne gets the win...
See if you can guess the voice calling the highlights...
