If anyone is the embodiment of the marathon mentality, it's Jacki Gemelos. After being a top high school recruit and playing college basketball at USC, Jacki has gone on to play professionally in the WNBA and overseas in Italy, Greece, and Spain. However, this wasn't before overcoming 5 ACL injuries and 10 knee surgeries. Jacki talks about growing up the moment she realized her dream of playing in the WNBA and why she wouldn't quit. She also shares the story of her scoring on childhood idol Diana Taurasi, being on the forefront of the racial justice movement in the WNBA bubble, her clothing brand, tattoos, and much more. We're excited to watch Jacki ball out with the Greek national team at Eurobasket and in her upcoming season with the Washington Mystics as she continues to inspire countless on and off the court.
