Most Valuable Female
Me and Mrs. Jones are both on the road to redemption. Earlier this year publishers Simon and Schuster released On the Right Track; From Olympic Downfall to Finding Forgiveness and the Strength to Overcome and Succeed by Marion Jones. Fellow Franchise Female Jackie Joyner Kersee proclaims "Marion's story is a powerful, poignant, reminder to us all that being true to yourself provides the power required to achieve success, endure profound failure and be successful again." In the 2000 Olympics in Sydney Australia, Jones was the first woman to ever win 5 medals in one Olympic Game. In 2003, she then lied about the usage of any performance enhancing drugs. And in 2007 she finally came clean confirming all allegations. Currently, Ms. Jones is living a dream deferred as an WNBA rookie for the Tulsa Shock. Marion's advice to anyone faced with adversity is to take a break and seek advice from those who you can trust. Marion Jones now joins the ranks of Magic Johnson, Mario Lemieux and Michael Vick otherwise know as 'The Come-Back Kids'.
