Lynn Pride (born October 16 1978 in Vero Beach, Florida, USA) is an American former collegiate and professional basketball player.
She attended Sam Houston High School in Arlington, Texas, and during her senior year, she was ranked as one of the nation's top five players by Blue Star Report and was named an All-American by USA Today, Street & Smith's, and Parade Magazine.
Pride attended college at University of Kansas and graduated in 2000.
In the 2000 WNBA Draft, Pride was selected in the seventh overall pick by the Portland Fire. After the season, she was traded to the Minnesota Lynx and she played for the Lynx during the 2001, 2002, and part of the 2003 seasons. After being waived by the Lynx, she signed with the Los Angeles Sparks for the rest of the season.
Currently, Pride works for the Marquette University Department of Public Safety in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On certain weekend nights she can be seen manning the front desk of Mashuda Hall, doing all she can to protect her beloved. Weird life path, huh?
