Yeah there's a new documentary that just came out about Lusia Harris. She was a trailblazer of women's basketball in the 70's. Won 3 titles in college and was drafted by the New Orleans Jazz (but declined to try out for the team and didn't play in the NBA). Interesting woman and story, and a great player.

Wow, that was actually a fascinating read - is what I would say had I read the article. Alas.
Can female players ever play in NBA?

Yup, like clockwork: anytime there's a thread about the WNBA or a female basketball player or whatever, you'll always find people here eager if not giddy to express their lack of interest.
