BETTY CEBRIAN, THE TRAILBLAZER WHO OPENED THE DOOR TO THE WNBA

"Sometimes, this happens, when you don't expect things, that's when they happen." Betty Cebrián went to the WNBA at a time when female basketball players did not even dream of such a possibility. The competition, which sought to replicate the NBA, had been launched a year earlier in the United States, but even the best European athletes had not had time to fantasize about the idea of ​​being part of it. The phone rang and the resident could not even imagine the reason for the call: “I received an offer that I did not expect. I was playing in the University, but I had decided to put the brakes on my life a little. I only played in the domestic league and did not compete in the Euroleague because I wanted to start studying. After many years away, I had returned home and was looking for some peace. Curiously, that season I did the best numbers of my career. I could tell that I was playing very freely and things went very well for me", she says.
