Tamika Catchings. She played at Tennessee, but I'm not holding it against her . I've never heard her speak before, so I looked her up online. She was born with a hearing impairment--an inspirational story.
To play for both Sandra Meadows AND Pat Summitt — that’s a dream come true for her. I was wondering about her speech. I looked her up, too, and I agree that she is inspirational, very inspirational.
I love Tamika Catchings. A harder worker and more fierce competitor never existed. I think she does an excellent job calling games, and brings qualified commentary from a player's perspective.
Tamika has quite the resume on and off the court and is the current General Manager of the Indiana Fever so I’m sure she did her homework on Charli for several reasons. She’s the first to have a quintuple double which is amazing. Four Olympic gold medals, five time defensive player of the year, a slew of MVP’s and the list goes on and on. She deservedly was inducted in the Hall of Fame last year which was the ultimate no-brainer. All of that and she’s still down to earth all around good person. One of my all time favorites to watch play.
Thanks to all who have provided some information about Tamika - I knew she had played for Tenn. but nothing else, and was curious!
