Rebecca Lynn Hammon learned how to dribble a basketball at a young age while playing with her father and brother. Sadly, after playing during her years, she failed to grab the attention of college basketball recruiters as some considered her too small and slow.

In May 1999, Becky was signed to the WNBA, joining the New York Liberty. On 4 April 2007, she was traded to the San Antonio Silver Stars, where she played until her retirement in 2014, when she became the team’s assistant coach.

Lynn became the first female NBA head coach to win a Summer League title the following year. Since 2021, she has served as the head coach for the Las Vegas Aces.

While speaking to NBC News in 2021, she encouraged women who face challenges in their careers, saying:

Life will give us all heartaches and failures but can also provide us hope and love. How we react to challenging moments will eventually define us and who we become.
