Britney Spears – Basketball

Who would have thought that the Princess of Pop, Britney Spears, could also rock and shine on the basketball court? Her singing career began in high school, but she also developed an interest in basketball around this period. She was the point guard for the Parklane Academy basketball team during her stay there. Her star, though, was destined to shine brightest as a singer. Spears is considered a pop superstar for revitalizing the adolescent pop genre in the 1990s and selling over 150 million records worldwide. Her classic “…Baby One More Time” was awarded the greatest debut single of all time by Rolling Stone.

Geena Davis has established herself as a one-of-a-kind performer, receiving numerous awards both on and off the screen. “The Fly,” “Beetlejuice,” and “Grey’s Anatomy” are some of her most successful works. She has performed a number of roles during her career, including a doctor, a baseball catcher, and a pirate. Her greatest notable sporting achievement, however, occurred in real life, when she was named the 13th best archer in the United States. In 1999, she was one of 300 women who advanced to the semifinals of the Summer Olympics in Sydney. Despite failing to qualify, she competed in the Sydney International Golden Arrow tournament.
