Former Kansas player Tamecka Dixon is currently seeking her third WNBA Title, this time as a member of the Indiana Fever.
Dixon previously won two championships as a member of the Los Angeles Sparks. She played for the Jayhawks from 1994-1997, notching career averages of 14.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.8 steals. In addition to helping Kansas reach four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, Dixon finished her career sixth on the all-time scoring list. She was also named a Kodak All-American her senior year and also took home Big 12 Player of the Year honors.
After leaving Kansas in 1997, Dixon was drafted with the 14th overall pick by the Sparks in the inaugural WNBA Draft. This year with the Fever marks her 13th season in the league, where she has been a three time All-Star with career averages of 9.7 points and 2.9 rebounds per contest.
“This is a really exciting time of the year,” Dixon said in a prepared statement. “I am thrilled just to be in the Finals, but to know we are only one game away from winning it all is an amazing feeling.”
Dixon’s Fever, up two games to one in the five-game series, will look to close out the Phoenix Mercury in game four of WNBA Finals tonight at 6:45 p.m.
