From swish to swoosh.
On her 36th birthday, the Washington Mystics’ Monique Currie announced she will be hanging up her jersey after a 13-year career in the WNBA.
Currie played in the Nation’s Capital from 2007-14 and once again in 2018.
Her career in the sports realm is anything but over as she will move to work at Nike’s corporate headquarters in Portland, Oregon.
She will be moving soon and officially starts April 1. She joked that the hardest part of the move will be deciding which of her many pairs of shoes will go to Portland with her. 🤷🏾♀️ https://t.co/VeHJJhfdWj
