I think her Baylor jersey should be retired as well.

Central honors former basketball star Nina Davis


Nina Davis is many things.
She's a supremely talented basketball player and a citizen of the world to boot. But one thing Davis most certainly is not is triskaidekaphobia.
On the contrary, instead of running from the No. 13 she's embraced it throughout her career. And it's served her well.
"It's a funny thing," she said. "When I played on my first AAU team I was about eight years old and the coach told everyone to pick a number. So of course everyone ran and grabbed one, three, 23 I don't know, 13 was just sitting there.
"But I picked it up that day and honestly I just fell in love with it. People think I'm crazy but so many amazing things have happened with the number 13. I graduated (high school) in 2013. I graduated from college on the 13th. And now I'm having my number retired on the 13th.
"It's just amazing."

That's a nice story. Because she didn't play for Memphis or in the $EC, there was hardly any coverage of Nina's career at Baylor or since. I always thought it odd that having one of the best ball players in the country be from Memphis was never considered all that newsworthy by the local media.
And the days I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations, well, I have really good days.—Ray Wylie Hubbard
