Tina Thompson

When Houston Comets superstar Tina Thompson put her mind to winning a game, there wasn’t much that could get in her way, not the WNBA’s No. 1 ranked defense, not a one-point deficit with four seconds remaining, not even a fractured finger that required medical help mid-game. With the game down to one possession, Thompson finds a way to overcome all three obstacles at once, finding a crevice of space on an inbound pass before pulling up and draining the game-winning shot to fuel an 82-81 victory. The superstar contributed 16 points, six rebounds, two assists and a steal to knock off the San Antonio Silver Stars on June 24, 2008.
