Named to the LSWA’s 20-woman All-Century Team for women’s hoops, Kim Perrot starred at Louisiana-Lafayette in her hometown from 1986-90, played for Team USA and overseas and became a star in the first two years of the WNBA. She helped lead the Comets to back-to-back WNBA titles in her first two years in the league as the team’s starting point guard. Perrot inspired the Comets to their third title despite being stricken with cancer and passing away in late August 1999. She etched her name into numerous spots in the Cajun record book as well as the NCAA record book. She registered 14 games in which she scored 30 or more points during her career. Perrot ended the 1989-90 season as the nation’s leading scorer with a 30.0 average. The Comets retired her No. 10 jersey, the WNBA’s Sportsmanship Award is named in her honor and the children’s treatment center at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center is named “Kim’s Place.” She was an all-state performer at Acadiana HS in Lafayette.
