Debbie Mason Explained

Debbie "The Pearl" Mason is an American former professional basketball player who played in the Women's Professional Basketball League (WBL).[1]

Mason played for the Queens College women's basketball team from 1971 to 1975.[2] She went on to play professional basketball in Sweden for a single season before returning to the United States to play for the New York Stars. She was cut from the Stars due to her small stature (5 ft 5 in), and then signed to the New Jersey Gems, who felt her skills could make up for size.[3]  

Mason was inducted into the NYC Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011 in recognition of her contributions to basketball history, only the third woman to ever receive this honor.
