    Recreation Chronicle Volume 6, Issue 1 www.patersonnj.gov January 2017 Jose “Joey” Torres, Mayor Essence Carson gets her day in Paterson Nicholas Katzban PATERSON — In some ways, the WNBA's Essence Carson has never truly left her hometown. Although the small forward from Paterson recently won a championship at the end of her first season with the Los Angeles Sparks, which she joined after eight seasons with the New York Liberty, she has always returned to help lead youth basketball clinics, lend her name to programs and raise funds for LGBT and drug-prevention organizations. "No matter where I go, New York or Los Angeles," Carson told a crowd in Paterson Eastside High School's gymnasium Tuesday night, "I'm always proud to say I'm from Paterson." Carson was there to accept the key to the city, among other gifts and proclamations, to official declare Nov. 15 being named Essence Carson Day in the city of Paterson. Carson got her start playing at Eastside where she graduated a star athlete and with academic honors. "This was not just about basketball," said her former coach, Ed Black, "it was about developing a human being." After high school, Carson was accepted to Rutgers where she graduated 17th on the university's all-time scoring chart. In her first year with the Liberty, Carson scored 15 points in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Connecticut Sun. Three years later, she was selected to play in the 2011 WNBA All-Star Game. At the end of the 2015 season, she left the Liberty for the Los Angeles Sparks, with whom she became the first resident of Paterson to win an athletic championship in professional basketball.
