Swin Cash played basketball professionally in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) for 15 seasons before announcing her retirement in 2016. Even though Cash has retired, her impact will still be felt 20, or 25 years down the line. Cash has already inspired many young women around her to play and enjoy basketball, "I’m so proud now when I see my nieces dribble a basketball," Cash says. When her nieces grow up, and in 20 years when other women join the WNBA, it is no doubt that many of them will sight Cash as one of their main inspirations. Swin Cash is a celebrity, and such is that she will have some innate impact, but more than that, it was what he did with her stardom that really matters. Even just the confidence she held, and still holds, is inspiring, not to mention her skill on the court. Cash used her fame to stand up for those less fortunate than her, improved the workers union, and created a charity in her name that will all live on even after Cash has died. "All of this is bigger than me. It’s bigger than my career." Even though Swin Cash isn't the only woman in basketball, professional sports is a world dominated by men, and any woman breaking the mold is bound to inspire.
