SYDNEY (AP) — Australian Lauren Jackson says nothing can top playing in what is likely her final international women’s basketball competition in front of adoring fans at the World Cup Sydney. The 41-year-old mom has the Opals battling for a medal. But no matter what happens, Jackson says she doesn’t expect to be at the Paris Olympics in 2024. The 6-foot-5 Jackson is considered one of the greatest international women’s basketball players to play in the WNBA. The former No. 1 pick says she is still “pinching herself” from the appreciation she has received during the World Cup.
