1. Sabrina Ionescu: A Road Less Traveled

Everything about Sabrina Ionescu is different. She had a different upbringing than others. She began her basketball-playing journey in a different way. She plays the game with a different flare. And her success on the court has bought a bigger audience to the women’s game. She garnered an NCAA-record 26 career triple-doubles, more than twice as many as the previous record holder, BYU’s Kyle Collinsworth, and she finished her career as the only player in NCAA history—male or female—with 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds, and 1,000 assists. For Ionescu, her path to greatness was a road less traveled.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
