For me, it&#8217;s about honoring that legacy while also helping show what the next generation of women&#8217;s basketball looks like. I\u2019m excited to keep pushing my game forward while representing Jordan Brand with pride. And I hope that I continue to inspire young girls who dream of playing at the highest level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Other future basketball superstars forming part of the company&#8217;s NIL roster  are Cameron and Cayden Boozer, Kiyan Anthony, and Kiki Rice.
