“In vibrant color and style, Hoops Muses tells the vital stories that celebrate the history and tradition of our game.” —Sue Bird, WNBA legend
“To be a (women’s) hooper is to be part of a long and proud tradition … but one not often celebrated in popular culture. Hoops Muses is here to change that.”
Hoop Muses is Fagan’s fourth book, and it is a collaboration with curator (and former WNBA All-Star) Seimone Augustus and illustrator Sophia Chang.
