When The Checks Stop Coming In: Marion Jones Wants To Play in The WNBA

Marion Jones must be hurting for a check badly because she said she is ready to play in the WNBA now:

Marion Jones, the disgraced track star who admitted to using steroids before winning three gold medals at the 2000 Summer Olympics, is eying a comeback as a professional basketball player.

Jones spent six months in jail for lying to federal agents in an investigation that involved the BALCO drug ring. She’s been training with San Antonio Silver Stars assistant coaches, Sandy Brondello and Olaf Lange, in hopes of regaining the form that helped her lead North Carolina to the 1996 NCAA championship.

That, coincidentally, was the last time Jones played organized ball — although she was drafted by the Phoenix Mercury in 2003. At 34 and away from the game for so long, it’s tough to say exactly what type of impact she would have if a WNBA team took a chance on her.

Hmmmm….Marion, might be time to throw in the towel on the sports action, babygirl. Poor thang.

  • darealwifey

    I have never seen so many negative naysayers. Why is it time to “throw in the towel?” Contrary to the message being imparted by this blog, NEVER GIVE UP despite what haters say. Dream big, reach high, and live your life! She is not taking food out of my mouth or clothing off my back by trying to earn a living doing what she does — being an athlete. She is an athlete, so the WNBA doesn’t seem so crazy to me. Sheesh. If you have negative people in your life who are always throwing shade on others, it might be time to cut that tree and step into the light.

  • Romello

    @ Nique

    No bragging but I always knew she was on steriods, she looked like she had a little dingal ling, and no woman can get that muscually without no enhancements. It was her deluded fans that got on my nerves, some people are just so gullible.

  • Yes I Said It

    at 34, she only has maybe 2-3 decent years left to be an athlete. It’s a wrap for her.

    Let that be a lesson learned to all who would cheat.

  • M Ferragamo

    Some of y’all may not be old enough to remember when she was in college. She can REALLY play. At the time, it was just more money in track. I wanna see if she still has game

  • http://gossip MatchMaker

    She looks like she is still in good shape. Let’s give her a 2nd chance.

  • NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    You all are some FOOLS!

  • Honey (KEEP ME NEAR THE CROSS…LOL)

    @ Nique
    Okay girl. you know I was ready

  • Honey (KEEP ME NEAR THE CROSS…LOL)

    @ Nikki Underwood

    LOL. I know right. Makes my day at work go by faster

  • MochaDreams

    I think she can still ball. She was never the average athlete, even in college, and I think with a training camp and some practice, she would still be able to hold her own on the court. Always thought she should have stuck with basketball anyway.

  • lanette

    this picture is so doctored up this pathetic.
