A model of resiliency after a lifetime of hardships, the Trojans’ well-traveled point guard has a story to tell. Have a listen.
Resilient and wise after navigating a lifetime of personal challenges, graduate transfer Destiny Littleton has been a leader for the USC women’s basketball team this season. Coach Marlon Wells and Destiny Littleton pose together in an image from 2015. Wells was Littleton’s basketball coach before becoming her guardian and eventually, legally, her dad.
Marlon Wells was Destiny Littleton’s basketball coach before becoming her guardian and eventually, legally, her dad. USC’s Destiny Littleton looks toward the stands after their 59-56 loss to UCLA in a Pac-12 opener on Thursday night at the Galen Center. A little like a touch of fate, that it’s happened just as Littleton – a 23-year-old graduate student and point guard, playing heavy, necessary minutes and making the most of the NCAA’s bonus COVID year – has dropped her disguise, emerging from an emotional thicket not unscathed, but untarnished. Good, stronger and the right woman to lead these tough-willed Trojans, whose wins don’t often come easy, but have come anyway.
She found lifelines and opportunities, and she didn’t squander those either. She moved in with a coach, and with friends, with a teacher, and earned her way into a prestigious private high school and onto the radars of every major college women’s basketball coach. More, she felt betrayed by the people who, above all others, she was supposed to count on. How in the world could she trust anyone else? Even with Wells, she said, it took three years.
