Candace who?

There is a new face in women’s basketball.

She wears a size 18 men’s sneaker and stands 6′8.

Did I mention she’s only 16?

Brittney Griner is a high school junior who has exploded on the national scene thanks to YouTube.

Listen to this stat line: 29 points, 13 rebounds, 11 blocks and nine assists as she helped Nimitz High School to a first round playoff win over rival Westside High School.

If you get a chance, search for the highlights from her first round playoff contest.

Griner could teach Kwame Brown and Eddy Curry a thing or two about taking it to the hole and finishing as she had two POWERFUL dunks.

All she was missing was announcer Bill Rafferty saying “Send it in Brittney!” and you would have mistaken it for an NBA highlight.
