Tina Thompson, a nine-time All-Star who helped the Houston Comets win four consecutive WNBA Championships between 1997 and 2000, was elected to the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame on Monday.
"I am extremely honored to be inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. It is a true privilege to have my name reside in the home where so many of the greats of our game are housed. As a young girl, little did I know how good old-fashioned hard work and passion would affect my life in such a grand way. Fabulous indeed," Thompson said in a statement via the University of Texas, where she is currently an associate coach with the women's basketball team.
