Marion Jones is said to be working out with the Silver Stars assistant coaches and trainer, she is 34 and may get a shot at training camp with the Stars, what are your thoughts on that?

Hi Nicole.. this is something I’ve known about for awhile but wasn’t at liberty to talk about, but now that I can speak up, I can tell you that I’m really excited for this possibility!  I’m pulling for her  100%!! As far as making a team in the WNBA only time will tell if her skill level is good enough, but I can tell you she is extremely disciplined and determined.  She is 34 but I can tell you, she’s not normal (and I mean that as a huge compliment!!)  LoL…. She has natural God given gifts, and her body is one of them! She’d still smoke any 23 year old for sure.. There’s a few things that she’ll really have to focus on. 1. obviously her basketball skills 2. her lateral speed… basketball isn’t a straight line, so getting her body to zig and zag when it needs to will be a challenge I think. BUT I hope she can pull it off. I just want that she gets a fair opportunity, that’s all anyone can ask for.. I hope that she reaches the goals she’s set for herself, and that her journey and story becomes one of the greatest success stories of all time! Some people in life are just meant to fly, she’s one of them. I’d love to see her get her wings back!
