#KimPerrot (January 18, 1967 – August 19, 1999), was an American basketball player. She played in the #WNBA for the #HoustonComets. Perrot attended the #UniversityofSouthwesternLouisiana (now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette), and played four years there as a guard. In one game against the University of Southeastern #Louisiana, she scored 58 points, the second most in #NCAA history. After playing six seasons in #Europe, Perrot became the regular point guard for the Houston Comets, helping them to win WNBA championships in 1997 and 1998. At 5'5", she was noted there for her ferocious play and was a crowd favorite. Her best friend was Comets star #CynthiaCooper. Perrot wore jersey number 10 with the Comets organization, which subsequently retired her jersey. She averaged 7.2 points, 3.3 steals, and 2.9 rebounds per game during her two seasons as a member of the Comets. In her last game with the Comets, exactly one year before her death, she scored ten points against the #LosAngelesSparks. In February 1999, she was diagnosed with #lungcancer. While she was not on the basketball court with the Comets that year, many of her teammates considered her to be a spiritual uplifting force for the team
