Hi everyone! new member here! I was watching some older games of Stacy and it’s crazy how good she was especially being so undersized! I also read and article saying her hands are so big she could palm a medicine ball! Lol! I don’t think that’s true but could anyone verify that!?
I would not dismiss the claim. When Stacy was playing at Texas, there was a picture of her hands next to Lisa Leslie’s hands. Stacy’s hands were comparatively huge.
Hi, Where did you find old games with her? And im pretty sure she can palm a medicine ball. Take a look how big her hands are compared to some guy
We socialized with a family who were close to Stacy and we had a chance to meet her several times at dinners. Terrific person, great player, so much heart for the sport. Those were the years when athletes graduating from UT had a hard time finding employment with the athlete's version of the kinesiology degree. Obviously, that is part of what is behind the Leverage program introduced this year.
I first saw Stephens at the Duncanville Sandra Meadows Tournament playing for I think Winnsboro HS. She was quite a force with her long arms and hands. Just a dominating player. I believe they won state that year. Perhaps more. Well deserved. She was a dominant center at Texas even though significantly undersized in terms of height.
