DREAM ACQUIRES RIGHTS TO CHAMIQUE HOLDSCLAW
--Atlanta Sends 13th Pick to LA Sparks In Exchange
for Former Tennessee Star--
ATLANTA, December 17, 2008— The Atlanta Dream acquired
the rights to forward Chamique Holdsclaw from the Los
Angeles Sparks today in exchange for the 13th overall
pick (first round) in the 2009 WNBA Draft. Holdsclaw,
an eight-year veteran, is returning to the WNBA after
a two year hiatus.
“We are very excited to bring one of the best players
in Tennessee women’s basketball history to our roster,”
said Team President & COO Bill Bolen. “The excitement this
will bring to our fans is huge. We think it’s going to make
a big impact on the Atlanta community and the entire southeast.”
The first overall draft pick in the 1999 WNBA Draft, Holdsclaw
spent the first six years of her career with the Washington
Mystics, averaging 19 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. In
her first season as a pro, she was named WNBA Rookie of the
Year and was a starter in the inaugural WNBA All-Star game.
In 2000, Holdsclaw was named to the Olympic team and earned
a gold medal in Sydney.
A WNBA All-Decade Team honorable mention, Holdsclaw most
recently played for the Los Angeles Sparks, after being
acquired in a 2005 trade for DeLisha Milton-Jones. She
spent two full seasons in Los Angeles before announcing
her retirement in June 2007. At the time, Holdsclaw was
averaging 15.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. After
her retirement, she continued to pursue her basketball
career overseas, most recently in Poland where she is
averaging 17.6 points per game for TS Wisla Can-Pack Krakow
in Euroleague action.
“Coming back has been something that I have been thinking
about for a while,” Holdsclaw said. “The only thing that
was holding me back was my body and being healthy. I realized
that if I had the chance I would like to play this summer.”
“I’m just happy that Chamique is back in the WNBA,” said
Dream General Manager & Head Coach Marynell Meadors. “I just
think she really misses the game. I am looking forward to having
her. She elevates our team to another level.”
Holdsclaw had a legendary career at the University of
Tennessee where she was a four-time Kodak All-American.
She finished her collegiate career with 3,025 points and
1,295 rebounds, making her the all-time leading scoring
and rebounder in school history (men’s and women’s),
the all-time leading scorer and rebounder in SEC women's
history, and the all-time leading scorer and rebounder in
the history of the NCAA Women’s Tournament. Holdsclaw won
the Naismith player of the year trophy twice (1998 and
1999) and posted a 134-17 win/loss record during her remarkable
career as a Lady Vol. In 2000, she was named Naismith's Player
of the Century for the 1990s.
University of Tennessee Head Coach Pat Summitt echoed the
sentiments of Meadors. “I’m excited for her [Holdsclaw]
and I’m excited for the Atlanta Dream,” she said. “Great
players usually make everyone around them better and I see
Chamique doing that for Atlanta right away. She will bring
a different dimension to the court for her team. She is
tremendously skilled, she knows how to win, and she is an
exciting competitor.”
The Dream was officially announced as the 14th team in the
WNBA on October 17, 2007 and wrapped up its inaugural season
of play at Philips Arena this past summer. For more information
