Black Basketball History Month!... Hoopster Of The Week!...Lusia Harris-Stewart!

 

The 'Hoopster Of The Week'

for this week 

goes to: 

the Big Black Lady, 6-3, 185, who led her 

college, Delta State University to three straight 

AIAW National Championships and was the 

MVP for those three years, and she still is the 

school's all-time leader in points and rebounds, 

while also winning a Gold Medal in Women's 

basketball at the 1975 Pan American Games, 

and later she became the first woman to score 

a basket in the Women's Montreal Olympic 

Basketball' first game in 1976, then in 1977 

she became the first woman and Black 

Woman officially drafted in the NBA by the 

New Orleans Jazz, but didn't play because 

she thought it was just for marketing, and 

she wanted to start her nuclear family 

instead, also being pregnant at the time, 

plus, she is the first Black Woman to be 

inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame, 

and so much more... 

...Lusia Harris-Stewart!

valiant, and always surprising,
