ESPN.com: We'll Always Have Paris

NORMAN, Okla. -- For the second consecutive day the feature story on the women's basketball page on ESPN.com has been devoted to Oklahoma phenom Courtney Paris.

Yesterday, ESPN's Melanie Jackson and Graham Hayes did a pop-culture comparison between Courtney Paris, Candace Parker and Star Wars character C-3PO. 

Today it was Nancy Liebermans turn to chronicle the historic pace that the Sooner rookie is on.

Below is an excert from Lieberman's piece and a link to the complete article on ESPN.com:

Courtney Paris is hardworking, humble ... and huge.

That's right. H-U-G-E. And she's not afraid to tell you, either. The Oklahoma freshman -- a 6-foot-4, 220-pound plus rebounding machine poised to shatter school, conference and NCAA records over her career -- regularly refers to her size the same way: with a smile and the word "huge" popping up somewhere in the conversation.

And it's a fitting description. What else would you expect from the daughter of a former Pro Bowl NFL lineman? What else would you expect from the daughter of a dad named Bubba? But Paris gets it. She is comfortable with her size and fully understands the advantages it affords her and the Sooners.

So does her coach.
