Narkissa Kassius is a female ringtail lemur guard in the FBA.

Biography

Her father William Kassius was drafted #3 in the 1973 FBA Draft, but was widely considered to be a bust as he suffered through poor performances. His attitude also estranged him from his teammates and management, and after his rookie contract expired he never returned to the FBA. Despite extreme discouragement from her father, Narkissa developed a love for the sport (mostly out of rebellion against her father) and participated in High School basketball at Mountain Pointe within the Phoenix, Arizona metro area. She later enrolled in Arizona State University and after graduating with a degree in geology, she entered the FBA Draft in 2012 and was picked at the #21 spot by the Spokane Rapids.

However she played with the cloud of her father above her constantly, and her rookie season was rough to say the least. She was drafted with a chip on her shoulder, having an ego telling herself that if she doesn't perform better than her father ever did, she would be regarded as a failure no matter what she does. She made her complaints of having few court-time minutes public, and was traded to the Edmonton Totems halfway through the season. After a game against the Winnipeg Voyageurs, her father confronted her and after a blow-up argument (in front of the Totems players and coaches), she disavowed him as her father and the relationship remains very strained.

On November 19th, 2013 in a game against the Las Vegas Wildcards, Narkissa suffered a devastating injury that resulted in a concussion and a hyperextended knee that shelved her for three months. As a result, she always plays at the court and in practice while sporting a protective brace on her right knee.

On March 9th, 2015, she earned her first career double-double in a game against the San Jose Thrust. The performance also gave her the first Player of the Game award along with her first Top Totem award in her career.

During the 2015 Free Agency, Narkissa was offered two contracts from Williamsburg and Tallahassee. She chose the Tallahassee contract (despite having one less year than the other contract offer). During her time in Tallahassee, she improved her performance and in 2017 was awarded the Sixth Fur Award. She also became co-captain and became one of the key performing players in the 2017 FBA Finals, including setting a scoring record for a Finals game. In 2018 she became a Free Agent again and this time she signed with the Albany Alphas.

In 2020, she took the invitation to become a member of the USA Basketball team for the Olympics in Tokyo, winning the silver medal as the team's starting shooting guard. In 2021, she was voted as the FBA League MVP and in the following season, she helped the Alphas reach the FBA Finals but fell short after seven games. Shortly afterwards, she announced her retirement after ten years in the league.

Nowadays she is busy managing a pro wrestling fed based out of Phoenix, Arizona and can be often seen watching Arizona Demons games from the suites or visiting Winnipeg to watch her future husband Yves Carbonneau from the front row seats.
