"...I was excited because I dunked before my brothers did."
-- Candace Parker in an interview posted on cbsnews.com on Tuesday.

This video posted on Wednesday shows Madisun Bailey shooting hoops in her driveway on a 10-foot basket. Before she starts shooting, she turns to the camera and says this:
"My name is Madisun Bailey. I'm five, but you can call me Candace Parker."
Then she sinks the first five shots she takes, a mixture of baseline jumpers mainly, before missing her sixth shot, which barely rims out. But showing the all-around game of her basketball role model, Bailey follows her own shot, gets the rebound and makes her next shot.
File this under the category of "How you know you're really famous."
This clip covers the first period and most of the second period of Naperville North graduate and Michigan senior Eric Tannenbaum's loss in the NCAA championships last Saturday to Mark Perry of Iowa.
The second clip picks up with 44 seconds remaining in the second period and shows the the rest of the match as Perry holds on for his second 165-pound title in a row.
This is a very slick production from frenchfryowners showing Neuqua Valley's win over Naperville North in the sectional championship last year. There is a nice intro with voices lifted from the four-letter network and inspirational music to boot.
Since North will visit Neuqua on Wednesday in a rematch of this championship game, I though the interested parties would like another look at how things went last spring.
