One of the things that I noticed about Issacson during our masterclass was the ability to humanize the legends she covered. As outsiders, we often see them as these "gods" of basketball. However, she was able to provide anecdotes that humanized them and showed they are regular people. #JMC602

As a woman in sports at a time when there were not as many as there should have been, her work has helped pave the way for others after her and led to an increase in diversity in the sports media industry. #JMC602
