The WNBA has only existed since 1996, but in its brief history, the league has still managed to produce quite a few legendary players. With more women playing basketball than ever before, there should be no shortage of stars in the future, too.
But which players are the best of the best? That's always a question fans love to ask. It's one that Reggie Miller set out to answer as he shared the seven players who would comprise his all-time WNBA team that he doesn't believe could be defeated.
Reggie picks out his all-time WNBA team
Miller enjoyed a Hall of Fame career in the NBA as one of the game's greatest three-point shooters of all time, so it's safe to say that he knows talented basketball players when he sees them. And unsurprisingly, he's seen quite a few stars in the WNBA over the years.
There are certainly quite a few players who could make the WNBA all-time team that Miller created for fun here, but there are only a few spots for the taking. So, who ended up making the cut? Here's who the Indiana Pacers legend ended up selecting.
"If I was starting a women's team, I believe this team would be undefeated," Reggie said on The Mark Jackson Show . "This is the greatest women's team ever. In no order, but I'll start with Cheryl (Miller) just because that's my sister. Cheryl D, Candace Parker, Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore, Cynthia Cooper, and now coming off the bench with Lisa Leslie. That team would be 500-0. Give me another six that's beating my squad. And I'll throw a seventh person, Tamika Catchings. No one's touching me. No one's touching that squad."
Miller's all-time WNBA team has some studs
Right off the bat, Reggie includes his sister, Cheryl Miller , despite the fact that she never played in the WNBA. That's largely because the WNBA wasn't around when he played, as she was a star player at USC and also represented Team USA in several tournaments.
The other players making up the team include Candace Parker , Diana Taurasi , Maya Moore , Cynthia Cooper, Lisa Leslie , and Tamika Catchings. Considering all that this group accomplished, it's safe to say that Miller's team is looking pretty solid.
As always, fans are quick to point out snubs, with cases being made for two of the best current players in the league: Breanna Stewart and A'ja Wilson. While they don't make the cut yet, that could change in a few years.
Overall, this is a pretty solid list from the legendary sharpshooter, and it's tough to dispute his notion that this team would be incredibly tough to beat. And as more and more superstars take over the league, it will be interesting to see if any players emerge that force him to make some changes to his list.
