It may appear to be a frivolous pastime, this business of a young woman pursuing a professional basketball career. A mother would almost rather see her daughter spending time at the mall. Nancy Lieberman is 27 years old now and still practicing making all the right moves on and off the court. Nancy Bird is the name she answers to in her fantasies, but Lieberman is the name she would like to hear announced just once in the lineup of a National Basketball Association team. The dream had its roots in Far Rockaway during her childhood in the early 1970s, when the Knicks were the talk of the town, capturing the imagination of fans in New York City as radios echoed with cries of yessss. I used to dream about the days when John Condon would call my name out at the Garden, Miss Lieberman said. I could visualize it, Lieberman to Frazier to DeBusschere to Bradley. Thats why, if I could play in the N.B.A., sign a 10-day contract or play in an exhibition game, it would be another dream turned reality.
