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.
