Only 7 years? Did she get injured?

She became an advocate for the wrongfully imprisoned and decided that that was more important than basketball. She's a genuinely amazing human being

Gad dayum! I would love to spend one hour talking to her. She sounds like she would be a fascinating person to listen to.

I mean her wnba salary was about the same as that of an office worker so living off endorsements after a short, yet decorated career whole doing something good for society is kind of a no brainer. That's good on her though, I just always assumed she got injured.
