"Women's basketball phenom Brittney Griner's college career is over, but the WNBA may not be a big enough challenge to take on next.\nDallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban caused a splash earlier this week by saying he'd consider taking Griner in the NBA Draft this June. Then, in a pair of Twitter posts over the past couple days, Griner responded that she's up for the challenge. \n\"If she is the best on the board, I will take her,\" Cuban said on Tuesday, according to ESPN.com. \nIn response, Griner posted this tweet:\n\nMark Cuban may draft Brittney Griner m.espn.go.com/general/story?\u2026 ...I would hold my own! Lets do it\n\u2014 Brittney Griner (@Brittney4Griner) April 3, 2013\n\nShe apparently wasn't kidding, either, and wouldn't drop the subject. She posted this tweet on Wednesday, badgering Cuban directly for a tryout: \n\n@mcuban so when do I show up for try-outs!!!\n\u2014 Brittney Griner (@Brittney4Griner) April 3, 2013\n\nGriner, for the uninitiated, is a six-foot-eight post who just wrapped up a phenomenal four year career at Baylor University. She was a dominant force on both offense and defense, but became best known for her slam dunks. She became the most prolific dunker in women's hoops history \u2014 by a wide margin, at that \u2014 and set a personal record with three slams in one March Madness game last week. \nWill we ever see a woman play in an NBA game? Give us your take in the comments. \nPhoto by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images\n      window._msla=window.loadScriptAsync||function(src,id){if(document.getElementById(id))return;var js=document.createElement('script');js.id=id;js.src=src;document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0].parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);};\n_msla(\"//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\",\"twitter_jssdk\");"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
