Score One for the Old Chicks
July 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment
So, some of you may know that I am HUGE women’s basketball fan. In my office I have an autographed jersey of Sheryl Swoopes and at home I have a pair of her Nike shoes. She was the first female athlete to ever get her own Nike shoe.
I played basketball briefly in high school. I ran track and the coach needed some speed that season so she put me on the team. Soon, she discovered how awful I was (not for lack of trying - I practiced for three hours daily!) and I rode the bench the rest of the season.
For me, I love it even more because I stink at it. I have a huge respect for the women that play the game and the LA Sparks and Tennessee Lady Vols are my teams.
This week, the Sparks were playing Detroit and a bench-clearing brawl broke loose. Not something you typically see in the WNBA so it was big news. The league suspended a bazillion players and Detroit was left with only 7 eligible players on their roster.
Enter Nancy Lieberman.
Nancy is a 50- year old, Hall of Fame basketball player/coach/analyst and Detroit gave her a 7 day contract. She played last night and although she missed her one shot, she did complete one HECK of a no-look pass for an assist. 50 years old. 50!!
So, like I said, score one for the old chicks. You, GO, Nancy!
