WNBA's Best: 5 Players working in prominent NBA roles

#4 Tamika Catchings - Pacers Director of Player Programs & Franchise Development

Tamika Catchings was a WNBA champion in 2012 with the Indiana Fever.

After leading an illustrious career with the Indian Fever, laced with a WNBA Championship (2012), a Finals MVP (2012) and a regular season MVP (2011) award, Tamika Catchings has made sure to keep herself busy since ending her glorious playing days.

By being offered the position of Pacers Sports and Entertainment’s Director of Franchise Development, she got the opportunity to work towards to the growth of three franchises: the NBA’s Indiana Pacers, the Fever and the G-League’s Fort Wayne Mad Ants.

A former 10-time WNBA All-Star herself, Tamika has always stayed positive regarding the future of the Fever. In her current role, she encourages players to take part in professional opportunities, like higher profile community service or broadcasting, as they have limited time at their hands.

She assists currently active players in post-playing skills, community outreach programs and basic communication/presentation skills, somethings that come handy once a player hangs up his boots.
