Posted Jul 21, 2015
For years, Becky Hammon has been rising through the professional basketball ranks. Now, she is a champion. As the head coach of the Spurs' Summer League team, she led the team to a championship in Las Vegas. She was the first woman to be a head coach in the league and seems poised for an even greater future within the NBA. After a storied career in the WNBA, Gregg Popovich brought her in as an assistant coach for the Spurs last year. (Athlon Sports)
