Top Moments in Sacramento Women's History: Nancy Lieberman

Nancy Lieberman made history when she became just the second woman to earn an assistant coaching position on an NBA team.

Lieberman served under George Karl for the Kings during the 2015 NBA season and Dave Joerger for the 2016 season before returning to the broadcast booth with the Pelicans and Thunder, respectively.

“Lady Magic,” an inductee of both the NBA and WNBA Hall of Fame, is no stranger to making history, however.

After an illustrious high school and college basketball career, where she made a name for herself as one of the nation’s top players and secured a spot on the Women’s National Team, Lieberman would go on to find success in several professional women’s and men’s leagues.
