Black Basketball History Month!... Hoopster Of The Week!...Sheryl Swoopes!

 


The 'Hoopster Of The Week'

for this week 

goes to: 

the Big Black Lady who was the first female 

and first Black Woman signed to the 

WNBA when it was first established in 

1996 and she won three straight Olympic 

Women's Basketball Gold Medals, plus she 

led her team, the Houston Comets to four 

straight WNBA Championships from 1997 

to 2000, and of course she was a 3-time 

WNBA MVP,  and a 3-time WNBA 

Defensive Player of the Year, plus her 

'Air Swoopes' made her the first woman 

and Black Lady to have a signature shoe, 

and so much more...

Black Basketball History Month was

founded by Ralph Winge, D.D.S.

in 2025 to acknowledge, praise,

and hold high, with cheer, the untold 

numbers of International Black Men 

and Women, both past and present, 

that made us go, "Wow!...Whoa!...

...and...OMGosh!" in their nonstop, 

valiant, and always surprising, 

individual and team 

efforts to put the ball through the 

hoop the most, to win games and 

championships!
