3 HS state titles; 2 NCs at #UConn; 3 #WNBA titles; 1 Olympic gold in 1 try; 2 world championship golds in 2 tries. And @MooreMaya is 26.

It's really too bad that Phx and Minny are both in the West. I would say that if both teams are healthy, they are the best in the WNBA by a rather wide margin. Indy wouldn't have won a single game vs. Minny if Whalen and Augustus were both at 100%...

Plus 3 Chinese League in 3 tries. 1 Spanish League in 1 try. 1 Euroleague in 1 try.

I believe that is 16 for 21. She obviously was a slacker at UConn, because it's the only place where she was under 60%.
