She's considered by many to be the best female basketball player in the college game, and maybe even in the world. She's led her University of Tennessee team, the Lady Vols, to three championships in a row and is en route to a fourth—a feat of which not even Michael Jordan or famed UCLA coach John Wooden can boast. She was a star on the U.S. National Team that included such players as Dawn Staley, Lisa Leslie and Ruthie Bolton-Holifield. She's even turned down multi-million dollar endorsement contracts to stay in school and finish out her senior year. And, in the latest in a string of amazing feats, she tied Tennessee's career scoring record (2,450 points) with a 12-point performance over Duke last Sunday. If you don't know the name Chamique Holdsclaw yet, you soon will.
