Skylar Diggins of the WNBA's Tulsa Shock has been a standout on the basketball court for a long time. The 5'9, 145 pound guard was a McDonald's All-American at Washington High School in South Bend, Indiana.
She followed that up with a stellar 4-year career at Notre Dame and won gold medals in competitions with Team USA in 2008 (Buenos Aires), 2009 (Bangkok), 2011 (Shenzhen, China) and 2012 (Athens).
Skylar was selected No. 3 overall by Tulsa in the 2013 WNBA Draft. She is represented by Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports agency.
Her stunning looks caught Lil Wayne's attention while she was at Notre Dame. This year Sports Illustrated came calling, asking Skylar to model for their 50th Anniversary 2014 Swimsuit Issue.
"I didn't really know how I was going to approach modeling swimsuits. I had never modeled in a swimsuit before," she said. "I think I kind of just wanted to get in and get comfortable. As the shoot went along I got more and more comfortable. And I think that really helped me get some great shots."
The shoot took place in Guana Island with photographer Adam Franzino.
