Take The Field, Episode 18, "Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir on Dribbling Down Barriers, and life without hoop"
She rewrote FIBA's rules that disallowed Muslim women to wear hijab in competition. She broke Hall-of-Famer Rebecca Lobo's all-time scoring record in Massachusetts high school hoop history. She's the first NCAA Division I player to wear hijab during a game. She hit a jump shot over President Barack Obama at the White House.
She is Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir, and she was kind enough to join the guys for a chat about what it means to be an athlete-activist in the 21st century.
Check out her organization Dribbling Down Barriers (DribbleDownBarriers.com) and be sure to stream her documentary "Life Without Basketball" on Amazon or YouTube.
