Minium: Jay Harris' Name is on the Court, But the ODU Alum Says The Spirit of Al Harris Lives There

The inspiration behind the shiny new outdoor basketball court at the Boys & Girls Club near downtown Newport News came from Old Dominion University graduates Nancy Lieberman and Jay Harris.

They met nearly two decades ago, when she was one of the best women's basketball players of all time and he was a budding star on ESPN's SportsCenter.

"We hit it off right away," Lieberman said. "We've been inseparable ever since. We've done so many good things together."

Their latest joint venture: Last month's dedication of a "Dream Court," sponsored by Nancy Lieberman Charities, featuring Harris' name near mid court.
