...Watch the jersey: when a player comes down from a dunk, it floats and settles around his bod the way a real uniform would. That's the kind of wildly realistic touch that makes NBA 2K6 a Kobe-size leap forward. And it translates into game play. You get more control of your player on the floort -- he way he jukes and jives to break free of a defender or shadow an attacker. You're not just triggering preset animations; you're also right there in the game. And that's where you want...
...might call this discretion ladylike. But there's nothing demure about how Parker plays the game. She vaulted onto the sports scene in 2004, when she became the first girl to win the McDonald's High School All-American slam-dunk competition, beating two future NBA first-round draft picks in the process.

Although her dunks fetch the most attention, her game is complete: she dribbles like a point guard and throws no-look passes from the post...
...outspoken young woman says female athletes are "more disciplined" than men and disses Elvis in the heart of Tennessee ("He was a copycat"), yet she stays tight-lipped about the victim of her dunk. To his credit, Ryan Childress, a 6-ft. 9-in. freshman, is willing to fess up (yes, Parker slammed on a man 5 in. taller). Childress insists the tale has been exaggerated--"I was in the area," he says, laughing--but four eyewitnesses confirm Parker's account. No need to be ashamed, Ryan. You won't be the last person Parker dominates...

We applaud the Office of the Dean, and particularly the duo of Assistant Dean of the College Paul J. McLoughlin II and Campus Life Fellow Justin H. Haan ’05 who planned the event, for a job well done...
...what more can we want? Aside from more games at the fair, there seemed to be one thing at the top of everyone’s list that would make even the mechanical bull seem unexciting: University President Lawrence H. Summers in the dunk tank. We know we’ll be at the front of the line for that...
