  So, umm, lets just keep her far away from Rashard.

• slammin Posted: Mar.10 at 10:58 am
  WTF?

• Hussman25 Posted: Mar.10 at 11:14 am
  This should be interesting…. great comeback story if everything works out!

• Ace Posted: Mar.10 at 12:17 pm
  Can’t wait to see her play. I can only imagine how deadly she will be on fastbreaks and chasing down the her opponent for the block. Something tells me she will have many blocks in her future. There is a small number of very quick players in the WNBA, so she will be a treat.

  the wnba: where banned athletes from other sports coming to your league and making the roster despite not having played in over a decade happens

• tavoris Posted: Mar.10 at 12:37 pm
  about damn time. @slammin-Jones was an all-american at UNC. Should have did this a decade ago (instead of the track, steriods, and check kiting debacle)

  Hey, it’s never too late to be a rookie.

• NUPE Posted: Mar.10 at 1:00 pm
  I’m looking forward to seeing her play (and interview). Takes a heck of an athlete to be out of a sport for 10 years and then come back and perform at a professional level. I’m pulling for her to put her past behind and make the best of this opportunity.

  Whats taking the WNBA so long to fold?

• Stillballin Posted: Mar.10 at 2:59 pm
  Is she the oldest rookie ever??

• JD Posted: Mar.10 at 4:15 pm
  A Sprinter with 5 golds?! She should be banned from all sports after what she did

• niQ Posted: Mar.10 at 4:28 pm
  This is like Usain Bolt suddenly joining the NBA…. or NFL…

• BeatNasty Posted: Mar.10 at 4:34 pm
  She looks chiseled at 34 because SHE USES STEROIDS!

• Dfrance Posted: Mar.10 at 4:36 pm
  Actually NiQ, she did start on a Div.1 basketball team, so it’s really not the same.

• pilight Posted: Mar.10 at 4:54 pm
  It’ll be a story again when she gets cut.

• str8 from samoa Posted: Mar.10 at 5:42 pm
  haha will see what happens later…

• Micahel Scorn Posted: Mar.10 at 6:00 pm
  This is just a WNBA publicity stunt.

• The Philosopher Posted: Mar.10 at 6:25 pm
  Everyone needs to make a living somehow.

• M Cho Posted: Mar.10 at 8:39 pm
  Expect desperation.

• LeoneL Posted: Mar.10 at 9:17 pm
  Oden is a rookie at 53

• dma Posted: Mar.10 at 10:48 pm
  i’m all for it. everybody deserves another chance. just ask kobe.

• chiqo Posted: Mar.11 at 12:54 am
  it’s like if charlie ward had went to the cfl after the nba was through with him.

• Justin Posted: Mar.11 at 3:17 am
  dma, Kobe didn’t do anything against the rules of his sport. Totally different situation but it will be interesting to see her take a shot at this. I was chuckling a little bit at the “She looks chiseled” line though

• nastierthanu Posted: Mar.11 at 6:27 am
  @lionel lol. She’s a beast and always was all thru highschool topping the nation charts as a freshman. I watched her career since her first year in highschool and hope she finds sucess in the wnba. @ JD so its ok to be involved in homocides and still play but u can’t use steroids and make a comeback. She served time had had her medals taken away. She’s paid her dues fresh start

  “Whose got clean pee?!”

• SLAM ONLINE | » Peppers to the Rescue? Posted: Mar.19 at 8:00 am
  [...] a good 12-15 foot jump shot. The fact that on March 9 the WNBA’s Tulsa Shock signed 34-year-old Marion Jones–a similarly talented two-sport star at UNC, who hasn’t played organized basketball since the [...]
