My first encounter with Sylvia Fowles came on April 9, 2008 – the day of the 2008 WNBA Draft. It was the first draft I was working in person and my task was to shadow Fowles in the hours leading up to and following her selection as the No. 2 overall pick, chronicling her day-in-the-life experience as WNBA lottery pick.
The WNBA s all-time leader in rebounds, double-doubles and field goal percentage, Sylvia Fowles is poised to fulfill a childhood dream and launch a second career as a mortician.
