In 1977, Luisa 'Lucy' Harris was the first woman ever officially drafted by the NBA, but not a lot of people know her story. Shaq wants to change that.
She is the subject of a documentary short film hoping to get Oscar attention. It's called"The Queen of Basketball."
She said she just had a natural talent for the game. The former Laker great got on board as the executive producer when he heard Lucy's story. In the mid-1970s, Harris would go on to become a star player at Delta State University, winning championships, breaking records, making history. She was on the first-ever U.S. Olympic women's basketball team, winning a silver medal in '76 and taking home another honor - she made the competition's very first basket.
