Harlem Globetrotters rookie TNT Maddox is joining a very elite group.  She is just the ninth woman to ever don the red, white and blue and the first since 1993.  TNT’s basketball journey got started later than most. She didn’t start playing until she stumbled upon the game on the playground at the age of 13. She also played volleyball and participated in track in field during her teenage years – setting state records in both the long jump and triple jump – but she didn’t love those sports like she loved basketball, and she was an all-conference selection in basketball in each of her four years in high school.TNT began her college career at New Mexico before transferring to Temple, where she was lucky enough to be coached by three-time Olympic gold medalist Dawn Staley. TNT says, “Coach Staley was not only a role model for me through her amazing basketball credentials, but she showed me balance…balance between being a player, taking care of family, and giving back to the community.
