The Queen of Basketball (2021)

Lusia Harris scored the first basket in Olympic women's basketball history and was the first woman officially drafted by an NBA team, yet most fans have never heard her name. Ben Proudfoot's film mostly lets her talk, funny and unhurried, and the gap between what she achieved and how little it changed her life does the rest. Shaquille O'Neal and Stephen Curry signed on as executive producers, it runs about 22 minutes, and it won the Oscar for Best Documentary Short in 2022. Made for The New York Times Op-Docs series, it is free on the Times' YouTube channel.
