Elena Delle Donne

Locked in a tight road game against one of the league’s best teams, the Washington Mystics sure were glad to have Elena Delle Donne on their side. With her team clinging to a one-point fourth-quarter lead, Delle Donne plays the hero, receiving an entry pass despite three defenders flanking her. Even with her back to the basket, the two-time MVP and six-time All-Star shows no fear in taking on all comers, rising up for a turnaround fadeaway and providing some scoreboard cushion for her battling squad. It required an overtime period, but Delle Donne helped guide the Mystics to an 87-86 victory over the Las Vegas Aces on June 25, 2022, tallying 19 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, five blocks and a pair of three-pointers.
