Ex-WNBA star Lauren Jackson savors each day of her comeback
Associated PressNEW YORK — Lauren Jackson is savoring every minute of her basketball comeback even though the battle-tested Australian hoops icon knows she can’t do things that once captivated fans before retiring from the sport six years ago. She also won league titles in Australia, Spain and Russia as well as three Olympic silver medals and one bronze, “I played two Olympics with her, she’s still pretty good,” Australian national team coach Sandy Brondello said. She’s not the LJ of six years ago, but she certainly still shows a lot of LJ-like moves.” Jackson retired from playing in 2016 after knee injuries derailed her career. The way my career ended I couldn’t deal with that emotionally.” Australian player Rebecca Allen never had a chance to play with Jackson on the national team. I’m excited to play along side of her.” Now after playing about a dozen games in the Australian league, Jackson said she has passed some of the “little hurdles, barriers and milestones” she wanted to hit.
