My Take
Teresa Weatherspoon is the kind of athlete I root for hardest. Born in 1965 in Pineland, Texas, she made her name at Louisiana Tech, won the WNBA Defensive Player of the Year award and earned a place in the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. A point guard who defended ferociously and ran the floor with heart, she embodied the unglamorous work that wins games. That she stayed in the sport as a coach, now leading Vinyl BC in the Unrivaled league, tells me her love of the game runs to the bone. I'll always cheer louder for grit than for box scores.
