In this particular case, when I say pretty I mean her basketball game is a thing of beauty. In the highlights from ESPN below, the show a little of her scoring by her sweet, sweet jumper and her patented scoop move as she glides to the rim. It does not show how effortlessly she dominates a game. When her jumper is working, she will score whenever she wants from anywhere on the floor. Try to throw extra defenders at her and she finds the open teammate, usually for an uncontested layup. Despite all the talent and beauty, she still does the dirty work such as diving onto the floor after loose balls (*snicker*).
Moore is frequently compared to ghosts from UConn's storied past, most notably Diana Taurasi. She is also unfairly subjected to speculation as to how she would fare on a men's basketball team. The great thing to do right now is to appreciate her stature in the game today, relish every opportunity you get to watch her perform at the highest level, and hope she stays the hell out of Turkey.
