I love Edwige's comment about my Olympic crush, Celine Dumerc:
"FIBA: Just a word about Celine Dumerc. Have you ever seen an athlete step it up to a different level like she is doing now?
Lawson-Wade: No, because she is playing at the same level of some great players. But these players we are used to seeing them do that. I am thinking of Diana Taurasi who can do that all year long. Celine, we are not used to seeing her like that.
In blue she becomes a great scorer, a great shooter. Wow, where did that come from… It keeps going game after game, it’s unbelievable."
