The WNBA, as part of its 20th season, unveiled its 20 greatest and most influential players Tuesday. Among the names is former Ohio State star and current New York Liberty assistant coach Katie Smith.
The announcement was made today to honor the date of the league’s inaugural regular-season game played on June 21, 1997, when the New York Liberty defeated the Los Angeles Sparks, 67-57, at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood, California.
“The 20 women honored today are an extraordinarily accomplished group both on and off the basketball court,” said WNBA President Lisa Borders in a media release.
