From director Ben Proudfoot and executive producers Shaquille O’Neal and Stephen Curry, The Queen of Basketball is an Academy Award winning, electrifying portrait of Lusia “Lucy” Harris, who scored the first basket in women’s Olympic history and was the first and only woman officially drafted into the N.B.A. Despite her incredible accomplishments, Harris, who died unexpectedly on January 18, has remained largely unknown - until now.
