Biography

Slimmon played for the national team between 1987 and 1990, competing at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul.[1][2]

In the domestic competition, Slimmon was the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL) Most Valuable Player on two occasions; 1990 and 1992.[3][4] Although Slimmon represented Australia at only one Olympic Games and at no World Championships, she is still considered one of Australia’s best ever women basketballers.[5] Slimmon was also named to the WNBL All Star Five in 1988, 1989 and 1990.[6][7] In 1990, Slimmon set a WNBL record with 553 points scored at an average of 22.1 per game. This record would remain for 12 years until broken by Penny Taylor in season 2001/02 with 570 points.[8]
