I figured this is where this should go

Quote:
She was a 5-foot-10 prolific scorer (she averaged 39.7 points as a senior with the help of a reliable, fall-away jump shot) who could stand flat-footed, leap and slap a backboard with her full hand. She thinks she could have dunked if she practiced at it.

#In 2012, those skills would mean a free college education. In 1967, it meant little after high school graduation. Women's basketball wasn't even an Olympic sport for another decade.

Just got a package from Debbie last week. Haven't met her yet, but will very soon up at the HOF.

Have a great postcard of her and the team in front of the limo back in 1967-68.

These women are so very excited, yet humbled about being the first team ever inducted into Naismith.
