Cannon now looks at those words every day. When I first read that article, I was blown away, Cannon recently told NBC Sports Boston, as seen in the video above. I took that quote from Allison and it s literally framed in my house.
Feaster, a Harvard graduate who enjoyed a 10-year WNBA career, became the first Black woman and the first woman, period to have her role with an NBA team when the Celtics hired her in September 2019. Since then, she s served as an inspiration and trail blazer for other women like Cannon, who joined the team earlier that year.
