INTRODUCING

The MOST DOMINANT women's
college basketball center ever



PHOENIX MERCURY SELECTS BRITTNEY GRINER WITH NO. 1 OVERALL PICK IN WNBA DRAFT
Griner headlines the most anticipated draft class in WNBA history

To be incomparable, being different is a necessity.

That's why, if you ever find yourself roaming the streets of downtown Phoenix on a lazy Sunday afternoon, and you see a 6 foot 8 person with dreadlocks riding a longboard, who may or may not be eating bacon, do not, though it might be your first inclination, assume that person is misdirected.

That person may be Brittney Griner.

This is the Griner of legend - a larger than life amalgamation of Dora the Explorer on Red Bull with the humor and warmth of Ellen DeGeneres. It's the Griner whose on-court personality of dominance and authority couldn't be more contradictory off it. And it's the Griner so openly esteemed by basketball-heads all over the country, they continue to maintain that we've never seen anyone like her before in women's basketball. The best part? On April 15, 2013 just after 5:00 PM Arizona time, Brittney Griner officially became a member of the Phoenix Mercury.

I'll be able to tell you about the Stanford loss, the Connecticut loss ...I'll be able to tell you about those, about what I did wrong. You ask me about a 40-point game, and I'm like, huh? You have to remind me."


"If I get dunked on, I'm jumping and I'm going to try and block it.
I'm not just going to sit there and get posterized.

I'm going down with a fight. I'm not just going to sit there and get posterized.
I'm going to be up there and try to swat it."
