Part of the Almost Famous series. She was arguably the greatest women's basketball player. She won three national trophies; she played in the ’76 Olympics; she was drafted to the NBA. But have you ever heard of Lucy Harris?

Watched for an editing class, Lucy has a bubble personality and the music rocks but its timing isn’t cut well. Cool though, her story is interesting.

A lovely, warm portrait of a really sweet old lady that just happened to be the best female baller on the planet in the 1970s.
She talks about having no regrets about turning down the NBA after becoming the first woman ever drafted, but you can see it in her eyes; she's aware that she was just a little bit ahead of her time, and even though it worked out for her, the glory that could have been is never far from her mind.
(You can watch it here.)

There's something special about people telling the story of their life, especially when they've had a lifetime to ponder and self-reflect on that period

WOW! I love this short-documentary. She broke the stereotype, she's the history-maker indeed. Always happy to know another great back story from the history-maker. I love every time she chuckles, such moodbooster.
