Lauren Jackson Photo (c) Photosport.com Australia's Opals consistently challenge America's Dream Team in the emerging sport of women's basketball, and much of that credit is given to Lauren Jackson. At 24, she has attained worldwide recognition -- even in America, a place already awash in women's basketball stars.

   She joined the WNBL at the age of 16. By 1998 she led the league in almost every offensive statistical category.

   Now in her fourth year for the Seattle Storm of the WNBA, Jackson leads the league in points, points per game, field goals made, and three point field goal percentage.

   Jackson's mother Maree also played for the WNBL and Louisana State University, from 1976-1978. Her 1,021 points in one season is a record that still stands at the school.
