Tina Charles

Seemingly attached to a new record within the WNBA’s history books with each passing week, Tina Charles decided to add a game-winner on top of her milestone on August 16, 2024. Described by the Atlanta Dream’s general manager as “timeless” in her play, Charles earned her opportunity to live up to that description with 4.6 seconds remaining in a tie game against the Seattle Storm. Working a quick power dribble with Nneka Ogwumike blocking her path, Charles lets fly a short-range jumper that offers one stubborn, suspenseful bounce before falling through the net for a go-ahead score. In what would ultimately become one of the more unforgettable weeks of her career — as she conquered three of her former teams over a five-day span — Charles also became just the second WNBA player to reach the 3,000-bucket plateau. In Atlanta’s first post-Olympic game, Charles chipped in 16 points (on 7-of-13 shooting), seven rebounds, and one assist.
