In vibrant color and style Hoops Muses tells the vital stories that celebrate the history and
tradition of our game.” —Sue Bird WNBA legend Hoops Muses is an homage to the game bringing
style and flair to all the details moments and people who have shaped the collective world of
(women’s) hoops. Hoops Muses will take us through time – literally. We begin in the future in
2072 on the night of the WNBA’s 75th Anniversary as New York Liberty phenom Jacklyn Jones is
paid a visit by one of basketball’s long-ago (wink wink) greats. This unlikely duo then goes
on a sweeping roundtrip adventure through basketball history starting at the very beginning:
Springfield 1891. As the years pass they learn the roots of the game (think: the first-ever
collegiate game between Stanford and Cal where men scaled the walls for a peek inside or the
legend of Chicago’s Club Store Co-Eds the all-Black barnstorming squad of the 1930s). AND as
the early 20th century morphs into modern times they see the game grow the milestones
reached. On their journey they learn about the teams and the women (along with a few men) who
helped build the foundation on which The Future will be built: -Fort Shaw and the 1904 World
Championship -Pat Summitt and the early years of the Lady Vols -Delta State featuring Margaret
Wade and Lusia Harris -Cheryl Miller and Hollywood’s USC Trojans -UConn-Tennessee and the
Sliding Doors” moment that sparked their rivalry Plus they have front-row seats to a whole lot
of quirky blissful fandom including … The Movies That Should Have Been WNBA Jam The Moments
The Shots To be a (women’s) hooper is to be part of a long and proud tradition … but one not
often celebrated in popular culture. Hoops Muses is here to change that.
