Emma Meesseman

Emma Meesseman is a reminder that basketball greatness is not the monopoly of a few big countries. Coming out of Ypres in Belgium and climbing to the WNBA's New York Liberty and Europe's Fenerbahce is a serious journey, especially after being drafted by Washington in 2013. Named Belgian Sportswoman of the Year, she carries her nation's women's game on her shoulders. What draws me in is her reputation as a cerebral player; at 193 centimeters she could simply overpower people, but the smarter game is clearly her signature. I admire athletes who are quietly dominant, and Meesseman fits that mold beautifully.
