College basketball’s biggest star, who is bound for Brooklyn after getting drafted by the WNBA’s New York Liberty, believes that sports can change the way society views women
The most talked-about player in college basketball this winter was a mean-mugging point guard from the University of Oregon who rewrote the NCAA record book with a crowd-pleasing style that’s made fanboys of LeBron James and Stephen Curry.
Sabrina Ionescu became the face of her sport during a sensational four-year collegiate career that saw her break into the American sports mainstream like few women’s basketball players before her. The 5ft 11in pick-and-roll savant became the first ever player – male or female – to surpass 2,000 points, 1,000 assists and 1,000 rebounds, while her 26 career triple-doubles shattered the previous record of 12 .
