U.S. mountain biker Kate Courtney likened her comeback to win the 2019 World Cup overall title to hitting a three-pointer in overtime of an NBA Finals game.
“A little stressful,” she said, “but, of course, one of the biggest highlights of my career.”
One of Courtney’s riding partners back home can relate: Basketball Hall of Famer (and Olympic gold medalist) Reggie Miller.
Anybody who follows the sharpshooting legend’s social media knows he found a hobby in retirement. Maybe more than that.
“Wannabe MTBer,” his Instagram bio reads. Attempts to reach Miller were unsuccessful, but he shed light in a Q&A with the mountain bike website mbaction.
