在职业女子篮球尚未拥有正式舞台的年代，丹尼斯·朗·莱夫的故事就此诞生。这位来自艾奥瓦州乡村的19岁姑娘，于1969年被旧金山勇士队选中，成为NBA历史上首位被选中的女性球员。这一里程碑时刻，比女子职业篮球真正兴起早了数十年。

Before pro women’s hoops had a home, there was Denise Long Rife — the 19-year-old from rural Iowa drafted to the San Francisco Warriors in 1969.

She became the first woman ever picked by an NBA team. A moment that echoed decades before women’s pro basketball took root.
