Via my peeps over at hoopfeed.com, former track & field star Marion Jones is expected to sign with the Tulsa Shock of the WNBA later today. A news conference is set for 11 a.m..That's good for her as far as I'm concerned. She cheated. She got caught. She went to grown up jail. Jones did her time and is now trying to regain some form of athletic credibility, something I doubt she will ever accomplish, but I still applaud her for the effort.
As for basketball, Jones who is now 34 years of age, played for the University of North Carolina in 1994 and was a key contributor in the teams national championship run. She played just that one year, choosing to turn her attention solely on track.
She was drafted in 2003 by the Phoenix Mercury.
When I read the Twitter post, MF, I could have sworn I read 'Shawn Marion to play in the WNBA.'
