WNBA Signs Nancy Lieberman at Age 50

Way to go! WNBA team The Detroit Shock have signed the athlete to a 7 day contract . Lieberman will be the oldest player in the organization at the young age of 50.

Nancy is currently a ESPN broadcaster and was inducted into the Hall of Fame back in 1999.

Coach Bill Laimbeer noticed her talents last year at an All Star Game and hoped that at some point he would have the opportunity to sign her for a 7 day contract. He recently lost forward Cheryl Ford for the rest of the season with a torn ACL.

This all comes just after the WNBA brawl on the court Tuesday night when Detroit Shock was playing LA Sparks. The team is likely to lose other players temporarily to suspensions stemming from the free-for-all. Watch the fight here.
