If you're a woman who plays basketball, Diana Taurasi is or Breanna Stark are probably the best women's basketball players. But who else is on the list? Courtney Vandersloot is on the list, as well as Elena Delle Donne. These players will be up to you to decide, but I have made a brief list of the best 10 women's basketball athletes for your consideration.
Diana Taurasi
Diana Taurasi is a great WNBA basketball player. Her resume may help you to prove it. The All-Star has won a number of trophies including the MVP and scoring titles. Diana has won three championships and two Finals MVP Awards. She also received 14 All-WNBA selections. This makes her one of best players in the league.
Breanna Stewart
The Seattle Storm are back in the Finals for the 2nd consecutive year. Breanna Stearn is one of the top players in the WNBA. The two-time Finals winner was in conversation about the MVP after the Olympic Games 2016 and, by the time that she had recovered from an Achilles injury to win her title, was widely considered the league's best player. She was the league MVP and Finals MVP this year and was also considered the best player in the NBA after winning the inaugural WNBA title in 2018.
Courtney Vandersloot
Vandersloot, who was a part of the Seattle Sky's 2021 playoffs success story after missing four years with Elena Delle Donne's retirement, helped them return to the post-season in 2021. She averaged 8.6 assists per games that season and led all league players in that category. In 2014 and 2015 she led the league in assists/game and was the first WNBA participant to average more then nine assists per-game. She was also the league's top player in points per match. Vandersloot averaged 10.2 assist per game in the postseason.
Elena Delle Donne
There will be much debate among women about whether Elena Delle Donne is the greatest WLBA player. But the evidence is strong. The ex-Duke star had an historic season in Washington. Not only was she the first WNBA basketball player to shoot above 50% from the field but she also shot well over 40% from the 3-point line. Her shooting percentage is so impressive that she was awarded two MVPs on two different teams. Her contributions helped the Mystics win first place in the league, and to the top of their playoffs. Her performances earned 12 votes.
Allie Quigley
When it comes to women's basketball, Allie Quigley is one of the most intelligent and talented players in the league. Her mental toughness, intelligence, and mental toughness make Quigley an exceptional player. She was a Chicago Sky player and once scored the winning shot. Quigley attempted to dribble to the basket, but was stopped by two defenders. She quickly used the momentum created by her defenders to jump up for a mid-range jumper. She pulled up, pulled up, and fired elbow-to-elbow.
Tamika Captings
Tamika's career has been filled with incredible stats. She is considered one of the top players in WNBA. She holds the all-time record for steals and ranks third among career points with 7,380. She has been awarded WNBA Player and League of the Year. Catchings is one of WNBA's most decorated players and will be inducted into Women's Basketball Hall of Fame 2021.
Tina Charles
Tina Charles was the No. 1 pick in 2010. Tina Charles was the No. 1 overall pick in WNBA draft. She won the league's Rookie of Year award while playing for the Connecticut Sun. She also set league records at double-doubles (and rebounds) during her rookie season. Charles won her first Olympic gold medal after her breakout season. She was also named WNBA MVP.
