In celebration of Black History Month, we wanted to highlight two of the most influential people to the game of basketball: Sheryl Swoopes and Cynthia Cooper! Both made incredible contributions to the women’s game. Swoopes was the first player to be signed by the WNBA and was a 3x WNBA MVP. Cooper won WNBA Finals MVP each of the first four years of the WNBA’s existence. Both paved the way for women’s basketball and their impact on the game will be felt forever. #ridehigh #blackhistorymonth #sherylswoopes #cynthiacooper
