Nancy Lieberman to play in WNBA
According to an ESPN report, The Detroit Shock has signed a 7-day contract with the 50-year old Nancy Lieberman.
She will break her own record for being the oldest player in the WNBA.
Lieberman currently is an ESPN broadcaster.
She was 39-years-old when she played with Phoenix during the league’s first year in 1997.
According to the Shock coach:
“At last year’s WNBA All-Star Game, our coaching staff watched Nancy run through the skills test. She was very impressive,”
“We talked after that if the opportunity ever arose to sign her to a seven-day contract we might give her a call. There is no question she is in great shape. I approached her two weeks ago, but the timing was not right.”
The lady is considered one of the greatest players ever and won two national championships at Old Dominion and a silver medal in 1976.
Can’t wait to see Nancy playing again…
Love,
Mary
