Lusia 'Lucy' Harris grew up in rural Mississippi dreaming of the professional courts she watched on TV. Towering over her classmates, she became a three-time national college champion, scored the first basket by a woman at the Olympics and won silver. In her own words she recalls what happened next: in the 1970s, long before a women's professional league existed, an unstoppable talent simply ran out of games to play.
