LOB, Inc. wants to thank the Dallas Wings … Greg Bibb, Amber Cox, Nancy Lieberman, Hannah Nelson, and Jasmine Thomas for honoring the history of the WBL and the WNBA.

In our second year participating in the Nancy Lieberman Annual Women of Inspiration Awards, members of LOB, Inc. Charlene Jackson, Retha Swindell, and Debra Thomas were joined by former LOB members/WBL players Janie Fincher Roland and Belinda Candler Copeland; and WBL players Breena Caldwell, Tesa Townsend Duckworth and Peggy Pope at this year’s awards as an appreciative Wings crowd helped celebrate these trailblazers. Members of the early years of the WNBA were also honored. 

In an era, and especially in the current year when so many professional women’s basketball records are being broken, it is important to note that the WBL was represented by a “generation of firsts” who set records that are not known and celebrated. Every opportunity to shine a light on this important history is crucial and the Dallas Wings are committed to helping us do that.
