I have no problem putting Maya Moore #1.....
I also have no problem putting Stewart #1...
This is about as close as a two person race as it gets....
For me that's as far as it goes and the conversation ends with either Maya or Stewart. Just an opinion. I don't think anyone else should be in this discussion of who the best Uconn player is...
Oldude, that wouldn't fix the problem. We will still argue about who should be #10 and who should be left off.

Actually Paige won the 2025 WBCA POY Wade Trophy and the Nancy Lieberman award for Top point guard. So she does have 2 NPOY.

Paige also won the 2025 Honda Award as the top women’s basketball player in the country along with the Wade & Lieberman Awards.
It is worth noting that most of the POY Awards that were voted on before the postseason went to Watkins, and most that were voted on during or after the post season went to Paige. Obviously, the injury to Watkins was a factor. But so too was Paige’s fabulous string of 30+ pt games during the Big Dance.

We disagree on this. The Wade Trophy is selected by the WBCA. It has been around far longer than the Naismith Award for women, which is chosen by a group of sportswriters.
Indeed. People consider Naismith to be the most prestigious award simply because of the name "Naismith". If you look at what goes into each award and judge the awards that way, Naismith would be the least prestigious. This is no reflection on the players would have won the award. It's my opinion on what goes into the award compared to other awards.
Gretzky was not particularly fast or strong: he disliked lifting weights and finished last on the Oilers in bench press. He did have stamina, but his superiority was partly mental and partly hand-eye coordination.
Ruth did not take care of himself and was heavy and slow in his later years.
I agree. The Wade Trophy is a women's-only basketball trophy, and was considered the most prestigious until they blocked Paige Bueckers from winning it due to an outdated rule barring freshmen. It probably is again since that rule has been eliminated.

Browns it seems on anything regarding Paige Bueckers on the Boneyard you have become tiresomely consistent.

There are 5 NPOY awards that UCONN acknowledges (lists in their media guide). Naismith, Wade, Wooden, AP and USBWA.
