A 5-foot-8 guard out of Missouri State, Stiles was one of the true highlights of the Portland Fire’s first run.
4 overall pick in the 2001 WNBA Draft and quickly made an impact on the league.
Portland Fire players Jackie Stiles, left, Kristin Folkl, middle, and Carolyn Young joke around in the locker room after a Fire game in 2001.
Reminiscing on the game, Stiles said she can’t believe how bold she was asking to take the final shot as a rookie.
She said she is looking forward to seeing the return of Fire basketball to Portland this year.
