After legends like Sue Bird, players such as Napheesa Collier and A’ja Wilson have brought much-needed eyeballs to women’s basketball. They have continued to inspire a new generation of basketball players while making history with incredible records in the sport. Meanwhile, players like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Paige Bueckers, and others have shown how their skills were honed at the college level, where they competed against one another while making a name for themselves as some of the sport’s biggest stars.
