During one instance when Lieberman was practicing dribbling techniques indoors, because it was cold outside, her mother demanded she stop dribbling because of all the noise. When she did not stop, her mother punctured the basketball with a screwdriver. Lieberman found another ball and continued, but her mother punctured that one as well. This continued until five balls were ruined. Nancy then decided she had better go outside before she ran out of basketballs.〔Grundy p 171〕 During the school year, she played for her high school team, but in the summer, played with an AAU team in Harlem, the New York Chuckles.〔Woolum p 176〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nancy Lieberman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
