If you enjoy basketball, Diana Taurasi (or Breanna Stewart) are likely the best women's players. But who is the other player on the list, anyway? Courtney Vandersloot & Elena Delle Donne, what do you think? While you'll need to make your own decisions about these players, I've put together a list of the top 10 female basketball players.
Diana Taurasi
Diana Taurasi is the best WNBA player. Here are some examples of her resume. 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 making their second consecutive appearance in the Finals. Breanna Stark is one of today's most outstanding players in WNBA. The two-time Finals Champion was in the MVP discussion after the 2016 Olympic Games. By the time Stewart recovered from an Achilles injury, she was widely considered to be the best player within the league. 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 game that season and led the league in that category. In 2014, and 2015, she was league leader in assists per team and the first WNBA female player to average over nine assists a game. She was also the league's top player in points per match. Vandersloot averaging 10.2 assists per contest in the playoffs.
Elena Delle Donne
Although many women will disagree about whether Elena Delle Donne has the best WLBA player, the evidence is overwhelming. This former Duke star enjoyed a remarkable season in Washington. She became the first WNBA athlete to shoot more than 50% from the court. In addition, she also shot above 40% from behind the 3-point line. Her shooting percentage was so high that she won two MVPs with different teams. Her performances helped the Mystics finish as the league's top player and in the playoffs. Her performances earned 12 votes.
Allie Quigley
Allie Quigley, a woman's basketball player, is one of the best in the league. She is a valuable player because of her mental toughness and intelligence. In the playoffs, she hit the game-winning shot for Chicago Sky. Quigley attempted to dribble to the basket, but was stopped by two defenders. Quickly, she used the momentum from her defenders to pull up for a midrange leaper. She pulled up, pulled up, and fired elbow-to-elbow.
Tamika Catchings
Tamika Catchings has amassed a tremendous amount of stats over her career. This makes her one of the best players within the WNBA. She holds the record for steals with 7,380 and is third in career points. She has won the WNBA Player Award and three other league awards. Catchings is one of the most decorated players in the WNBA and is destined to be inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021.
Tina Charles
Tina Charles was drafted No. Tina was the overall No.1 pick in the WNBA Draft. She played for the Connecticut Sun in her adopted city, winning the league Rookie of the Year award. She also set league records at double-doubles (and rebounds) during her rookie season. Charles won her first gold medal at the Olympics after her breakout season.
