Compare this opening:

As she strolls into the foyer of her old high school gym, dressed casually in shorts, a long-sleeve T–shirt and flip flops, Courtney Paris is immediately recognizable as a tall, somewhat overweight basketball player. She has broad shoulders and a thick upper body. She has strong hands – her handshake is firm and confident – and long, slender fingers. Her large calves taper into thin ankles, and she moves with the powerful grace of an accomplished athlete.

An athlete.

Not a savior.

To this one:

Candace Parker is beautiful. Breathtaking, really, with flawless skin, endless legs and a C cup she is proud of but never flaunts.
