“Did I have game?” Nera White once remarked. “You know that move Jordan made on the Lakers, switching the ball from one hand to the other? I was doing that in the ’50s.”

Ms. White, who dominated women’s basketball in the 1950s and 1960s and who was widely regarded as one of the best players in the history of the sport, died April 13 at a hospital in Gallatin, Tenn. She was 80.

At 6'1" could dunk during the game? Born too soon. Greatness like that needed to be seen by a wide audience. RIP Ms. Greatness.
