My Take
What stays with me about Rohanee "Roey" Cox isn't just the height or the silver medal from Beijing 2008 with the Opals, it's that she was among the first Aboriginal Australians to wear the national colours on a basketball court at the Olympics. That kind of first carries weight no stat sheet can measure, because every time she stepped on the floor she widened the door for the people coming after her. I find quiet trailblazers far more compelling than loud stars, and Cox strikes me as exactly that: a player whose legacy is as much about representation and possibility as it is about points and rebounds.
