Twenty years before womens soccer became an Olympic sport and two decades before the formation of the WNBA, the 76 US womens basketball team laid the foundation for the incredible rise of womens sports in America at the youth, collegiate, Olympic, and professional levels. Though they were unknowns from small schools such as Delta State, the University of Tennessee at Martin and John F. Kennedy College of Wahoo, Nebraska, at the time of the 76 Olympics, the American team included a roster of players who would go on to become some of the most legendary figures in the history of basketball. From Pat Head, Nancy Lieberman, Ann Meyers, Lusia Harris, coach Billie Moore, and beyondthese women took on the world and proved everyone wrong. |
