Billie Jean King

Ever tried explaining to someone why Billie Jean King isn't just a tennis legend but a cultural icon? It's like trying to describe why pizza is better than a salad. Her backhand wasn't just a stroke; it was a statement. Watching her play was like attending a master class in crushing societal norms with a tennis racket. And let’s not get started on the Battle of the Sexes—her fans are still riding that high. Picking any other contender over her? Good luck convincing her army of followers.
