My Take
Temi Fagbenle fascinates me because she refuses to fit in one box. American-born, Nigerian-British, a Harvard graduate who chose professional basketball, and a Great Britain Olympian since 2012, she carries an identity as rich as her resume. The thing that stays with me is the nerve it takes to leave Harvard for a pro career and then build it across the WNBA and the Chinese league. Brains plus grit is a rare combination, and I suspect it has made her resilient in ways the box score never shows. She is exactly the kind of athlete I want to keep watching.
