While we’re still in the off-season I wanted to shed light on a really impressive recent basketball story. The nba equivalent to this would be if Tim Duncan or Kevin Garnett came out of retirement after already being in the hof for fiba this year.
Highlights of her 30 point game vs team Canada in the bronze medal game https://youtu.be/YXgNZC8oV-Q

Jesus it’s amazing she was still competitive at that age.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
She also had 2 kids during her break. Jackson is an absolute legend in basketball.
GOAT 🇦🇺
She was basically told to retire too, her knee was bone on bone.
Show how tough and determined she is.
Women’s basketball had a great year. Chelsea Gray put up an absolutely insane playoff performance, shooting almost 70% on mostly contested midrange fadeaways. Also nuts that the Aces won the finals in Connecticut, flew to Vegas for a parade, and then flew to Sydney to win the World Cup in the course of like three days. Also Han Xu put up crazy numbers for Team China.
GOAT shit
Damn those highlights! Shooting, strength, footwork, positioning, height… she’s got a game tailor made to age with
Legendary. That game alone probably added about 20% more confirmation that shes the goat.
And for some reason the coach barely played her against China. Then she goes and does this in the bronze match, what a legend.
at 40 seconds in she’s being guarded by 4 players, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that. GOAT indeed
Liz Cabbage: The Opals are nothing without me.
Lauren Jackson: Hold my shandy.
so this sub is for any and all hoops news?
She was so good in her prime. All she did was get buckets and win everything there is to win.
Lauren come back.
Damn absolutely insane 🔥🔥🔥
