Marion Jones has been through hell and back in dealing with her doping charges that landed her 12-15 months in Federal prison for lying to officals. In her release, she challenged herself to enter the WNBA, knowing she has not played in 13yrs. I am her biggest fan. I believe everyone deserves a second chance. Indeed, noone is perfect and that includes professional (celebrity) athletes.
Her basketball journey has humbled her more than anything. She has to be a bench cheerleader to the rest of her teammates. Jones plays an average of 10 minutes a game and her personal stats are not worth even sharing. I believe she has to earn that trust all over again to fans of the sport and that of her teammates. But she has drew in more crowds due to the fact everyones wants to see how she adjust. I mean she is a former Olympic track and field champion. The girl has talent, period!!
Did I mention she has 3 children.....
