We know the hype around Seimone Augustus's athletic prowess: When she was three, she joined a basketball team for five-year-old boys. When she was 14, Sports Illustrated for Women put her on the cover and asked if she was "the next Michael Jordan." In 2006, she was the top pick in the WNBA draft and Rookie of the Year; by 2011 she led the Lynx to a WNBA championship and was named the the WNBA's Finals MVP. In 2012, she added to the Olympic gold medal collection that she started in Beijing in... More »
Seimone Augustus led the Minnesota Lynx to the 2011 WNBA championship and won the Finals MVP award in the three-game sweep. The former No. 1 draft pick more than lived up to the hype that has followed her since Sports Illustrated for Women asked, "Is She the Next Michael Jordan?"

For the campaign, Brunson would chart career bests in minutes, blocks, assists, and boards. Those marks earned her an All-Star selection pitting... More »
Blessed with length, athleticism, and off-the-ball footwork that puts most NBAers to shame, Seimone Augustus can get her points whenever, however--and against whomever--she wants. The only thing that could stop the six-footer last season was a torn ACL. But before the injury she was leading the WNBA in scoring at 21 points per contest. It doesn't hurt that she's a solid rebounder (4.2 per game) and tenacious defender (two steals per) to boot. With a first-rate point guard on board... More »
