Taj McWilliams-Franklin

With five WNBA Finals appearances to her name, few bigs were built to handle the mental and physical grind of the biggest stage the way Taj McWilliams-Franklin was. With the Detroit Shock one win away from a championship, and struggling to create distance against the San Antonio Silver Stars, McWilliams-Franklin sneaks into the lane with a well-timed cut, steadying herself through traffic on the way to a crucial and-one finish in the third quarter. McWilliams-Franklin did a little bit of everything, with 13 points, eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal in the championship-clinching October 5, 2008 victory.
