Turned to stone after witnessing one of Davenport’s moves.
Davenport was all kinds of wicked during her college years in Ohio. She’s the only three-time Big Ten Player of the Year, while also being a three-time first-team All-Big Ten and named three times to the Big Ten All-Defensive team.
FUN FACT: While at Ohio State, Davenport cured cancer from a compound found in her opponents’ tears.
Her college numbers read like something out of a Herculean legend. 2,303 total points in four years (fifth all-time Big-Ten, second in Ohio State) while tying for first in the Buckeyes history with a career .604 mark for Field Goals (875/1448). Her 384 total blocks rank first in Big-Ten history and seventh in the NCAA.
Don’t try to stop her. She’s a force of nature.
She also found time to play for Team USA in their championship over lesser countries at the 2006 Opals World Challenge in Australia.
Any mention of Australia = Kangaroo/Koala picture
Drafted 2nd overall in the WNBA draft, Davenport is now ripping up the court at MSG, where spontaneous moments of worship have broken out among fans through-out the arena.
The Church of Davenport is recognized by the United States and 56 other countries as a non-profit religious organization.
She’s posting good numbers already. She’s going to have a long, strong career in the league (hopefully with the Liberty). Raise a glass to Jessica Davenport, all ye land-lubbin’ libs, and give a hearty “HELL YEAH!”
I know the feeling, Ms. Liberty.
