Indiana Fever retire former Tennessee Lady Vols star Tamika Catchings’s jersey

She was a legend with the Tennessee Lady Vols as part of the greatest team in NCAA women’s basketball history. Now, Tamika Catchings is a legend with the Indiana Fever, where she spent her entire 15-year professional career in the WNBA.

The franchise retired Catchings’s number at Bankers Life Fieldhouse Saturday night as they hosted the Los Angeles Sparks, who ironically have another Lady Vols legend in Candace Parker.

Catchings’s accomplishments at the pro and college levels are amazing.

There’s nothing she hasn’t done.

In college, Catchings won a national championship, was an All-American, and won just about every Player of the Year Award possible in 2000.
