Ann Meyers Drysdale recounts her experience being the lone woman to try out for the NBA’s Indiana Pacers -- two decades before the WNBA was formed.

Meyers Drysdale says for some people involved, the tryout was a publicity stunt, but for her it was completely serious. She says it was probably more difficult for the men during tryouts to be beaten by a girl than it was for her to worry about what they thought about her. Meyers Drysdale says she owes a lot to the women who came before her, she just happened to be around when the media took interest in women in sports.  Meyers Drysdale says there’s still a long way to go before women gain equality, but there’s certainly been progress with Title IX.
