My Take
Lynette Woodard is the kind of figure I find genuinely thrilling. Born in Wichita in 1959, she starred at Kansas, won Olympic gold with the U.S. team in 1984, and then in 1985 became the first woman ever to join the Harlem Globetrotters. Prying open the door of that beloved, acrobatic institution took staggering talent and nerve, and her Hall of Fame induction feels entirely earned. What deepens my admiration is the range afterward, moving into coaching and even stockbroking. I am drawn to people who push their era a step forward, and Woodard did exactly that. She has my full respect.
