Madison Booker shines as Texas basketball star

Madison Booker, a standout basketball player from Texas, recognized her talent as early as third grade. She felt different from her peers, saying, "I could do things on the basketball court others couldn't do." This realization came while playing in a league in Madison, Mississippi.

Booker has excelled this season, leading the No. 1-seeded Longhorns with an average of 16.2 points per game. Her shooting skills are highly efficient. She credits her success to studying great players like LeBron James and Rajon Rondo. She developed a signature fadeaway shot inspired by Kevin Durant and has worked hard to make it consistent. As the Longhorns prepare for their first-round matchup against 16th-seeded William & Mary, Booker is ready to showcase her skills. She aims to use the techniques she learned from her favorite players to help her team succeed.
