My top five greatest WNBA players. Lisa Leslie is number one. I picked her to be number one because she has accomplished goals that other WNBA players haven’t. She’s the first player to reach the 3,000 plateau. She’s the firs to garner regular season, WNBA Championship and All-Star Game MVP awards in the same season, and she’s the first WNBA player who has ever dunked.
Tamika Catchings is my number two. She plays for the Indiana Fever. She has accomplished many goals in her career also. She was rookie of the year in 2002. In 2004 she was a Olympic Gold Medalist, and in 2005-06 she got the WNBA defensive player of the year award.
Sheryl Swoopes is my number three. She also has accomplished great goals. As a member of the Houston Comets, she has accumulated over 2,000 career points, 500 career rebounds, 300 career assists and 200 career steals. Her extraordinary scoring and defensive ability have made her the first three-time WNBA MVP 2000, 2002, and 2005.
Theresa Weatherspoon is number four. She was a great player too. She has been awarded through out her career also. Up until the 2003 season, she held the distinction of being the only WNBA player to start every one of her games. In 1997 she was the first winner of the league's Defensive player of the year.
My number five is Cynthia Cooper. She was a great player too. She earned great awards too. Cooper was voted the WNBA’s MVP in 1997and 1998 and also won four WNBA Championships with the Houston Comets.
