Britney Spears – Basketball

Who would have thought that the Princess of Pop, Britney Spears, could also rock and shine on the basketball court? Her singing career began in high school, but she also became interested in basketball around this period. She was the point guard for the Parklane Academy basketball team during her stay there. Her star, though, was destined to shine brightest as a singer. Spears is considered a pop superstar for revitalizing the teenage pop genre in the 1990s and selling over 150 million albums worldwide. Rolling Stone awarded her classic “…Baby One More Time” the best debut single.
