Another Season – Another Accolade

Judy Jones can’t seem to escape her success in Spain. Year after year, season after season, she has lead her league in more than one category. The awards you probably cannot count on just your hands. She has stacked up consecutive MVP awards, while helping her team win championships. The 2019-20 season was just the same as all the others, until it was abruptly halted due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Her team Movistar Estudiantes, sits on the very top of the table with an incredible 21-1 record. With a 20 game winning streak carrying them to what most people would say a finals appearance. This season was her chance to AGAIN carry her team to another championship. This time it would have been to the highest league in Spain, and one of the most competitive in the World of women’s basketball.

Hardest Worker – Hands Down

Now what if I told you that this young lady had multiple knee surgeries… on both knees. What if I also threw in the fact that she had a kid. If that wasn’t enough imagine playing virtually every position on the court from 1-4 while moving up the ranks in Spanish basketball. Check this out: Europrobasket director Brad Kanis tells his players about a young lady that attended his program years ago. The quote that is said every time her name is brought up is this: “Judy was one of the hardest workers, if not the hardest, male or female, that has come through this program. From the time she steps on the court, to the time she leaves the gym. She gives 100% in every drill and every exercise.” Talk about Mamba Mentality. Maybe she is the female version of Kobe here in Spain. The only thing left for her to do to prove that title is compete in the highest league here and win a championship. It seems like she was well on her way before the virus stopped the competition.
