Message: [QUOTE="WBBTakeover, post: 5227139, member: 13257"] Folks, I usually do not post topics. I'm fine with simply responding to topics. However, after seeing this article about Lauren Betts, I felt compelled to post it. Please--if you have time and want to learn more about one of the most fascinating and charismatic young women we have in our game today, read the article. It's insightful.

If you're a fan of Lauren (I would consider myself to be in this category), you'll want to read about the transformation she's undergone to become of one of the newest faces of WCBB. And if you're an advocate of mental health, you'll want to see how someone who seemingly has everything from a basketball standpoint can feel that she has accomplished nothing. [/QUOTE]
