This is Brittney Griner, a high school girl who can dunk a basketball. Easily:
That video actually shows Griner when she was a 6-foot-5 sophomore. She's now a 6-foot-7 junior, and she doesn't just dunk in practice, she also dunks in games, and not just those "dunks" where the player's fingers are about an inch above the rim. I'm talking about dunks where her elbows are hitting the rim.
Griner, who has 29 double-doubles in 29 games this year, has committed to Baylor, and the Bears' recruiting class of 2009 is being called one of the best in women's basketball history. I have a feeling we're going to see her dunk a lot in the coming years.

At first glance I read that title as "High School Girl Can DRunk", and my initial reaction was "Yeah? So?"
This video is pretty amazing. As a non-b-ball player I am surprised that anyone pulls off stuff like this, and the fact that she's so young is very cool.
