WATCH: Billie Jean King brings back the Floss

Published Aug 01, 2019

If anyone can bring the Floss out of hibernation, it's Billie Jean King. The living legend helped the Philadelphia Freedoms prepare for their final home match on Wednesday by showing her moves, or at least trying to. She was aided by Taylor Townsend and egged on by Philadelphia's coach Craig Kardon.

"I'll go home and practice," the 75-year-old said.

The dance didn't end up bringing the Freedoms any luck as they suffered their first home loss, to New York Empire, 21-16.

The Freedoms are in first place and will be the top seeds in the playoffs this weekend in Las Vegas. The win gave New York the last spot, and they'll actually play Philadelphia for the third time in a week, on Friday.

The other playoff match will see the San Diego Aviators take on the Springfield Lasers. The Aviators are riding a five-match winning streak.
