Not to be confused with who you think are the best 10 of all-time but who are the players you enjoy(ed) watching the most? For example, I could tell you among some of the players in pilight's top ten will be Figgs, McCoughtry and Swoopes.


1. Swoopes
2. Catchings
3. Taurasi
4. T. Thompson
5. Jackson
6. Cooper
7. Parker
8. Whalen
9. N. Ogwumike
10. Moore


Honorable Mention: K. Smith and Bird

1. Diana Taurasi
2. Sue Bird
3. Penny Taylor

4. Alana Beard
5. Becky Hammon
6. Lindsay Whalen

7. Bria Hartley
8. Fluffy Little Bunny
9. Kristi Toliver
10. Skylar Diggins


HMs:Lauren Jackson
Britney Griner
Tiffany Hayes
Angel Mccoughtry
Candice Dupree
Ashley Battle
Courtney Vandersloot


First three were easy for me, and there is a huge gap between the, and everyone else. (Only question was who comes in second, Bird or Taylor. And that probably changes daily, but it helps that I’ve seen Bird play more.)

Obviously, I have a heavy guard bias.

Next three for me were easy picks, but a difficult order. Alana got me to root for LA, so I figured I must like her the most of the rest of the players. Laughing

Bria is my fourth favorite Uconn player (women) of all time. (Third never made the pros). That carries over.

Last three spots probably could switch out. I’ve always loved FLB though, and I’m very glad she’s on the Merc. And I’ve been a fan of Kristi and Skylar (despite her being the biggest UConn nemises of all time - a lot of respect there) since college.

If Shoni had made it, and done well..she’d be up there. She was one of my favorite college players of all time. Same with Mel Thomas. I can see Sloot making a run at my top 10. Gonna make more of an effort to watch all of her games next year. Same with Tiff.

1. Seimone
2. DT
3. Whalen
4. Hammon
5. Bird
6. Catch
7. Stewie
8. Big Syl
9. Katie Smith
10. Brunson

My list is skewed a bit because I wasn’t paying total attention during Houston’s hey-day. I was just too busy to see more than my local team a few times a year.

Almost put Lisa Leslie on there but, damn, I could watch Brunson just rebound for hours. Thought about Nolan, too, but she quit the league so I left her off.

I feel utterly privileged to have gotten to see those ten play.

Taj (some of this is just awe of her longevity)
FLB
Maya
EDD

love–hate, but awesome players to watch:
DT

Very difficult, in no order after first three ... certainly missing some.

Ticha, my all-time favorite. What an ugly shot, but what a wonderful player.

Cooper: At least two near-death experiences every game, followed by dagger after dagger.

DT: Inconsistent, but when she's rolling ...

Lisa Leslie: The perfect villain ...

LJ: The perfect foil for the perfect villain

Debbie Black: Quadruple double anyone?

Becky Hammon: Still don't know how she did it.

EDD: Best scorer ever.

Penny Taylor: The ball just kept going in.

Katie Smith: Though it's hard to reconcile with the 2018 coach.

Man, I miss Lauren Jackson. That was my player.

Love Nneka.

Who didn't enjoy Sheryl Swoopes, she was an incredible player to watch in what seems like many years ago, over a decade. But I remember her tearing up my Storm.
