As a junior in high school, Lynette Woodard was asked by the school’s varsity basketball coach if she would join the team. That’s how good Woodard was. Those skills she learned playing for the varsity boys team helped her excel in college at the University of Kansas, where she was a four time All-American and scored 3,649 points in her career.

When Woodard graduated, there was no American professional women’s basketball league. But that didn’t stop her from continuing to play the game. Instead of playing in a professional women’s league, there was a Lynette Woodard appearance for the Harlem Globetrotters, becoming the first female member in the team’s history.

Woodard would eventually go on to play professional basketball in Italy and Japan before finally returning to the United States and joining the newly founded WNBA, thus allowing her to accomplish her goal of playing professional basketball in America.
