The unveiling of “The W25” took place on ABC during halftime of the game between the Las Vegas Aces and the Chicago Sky. As part of this historic moment, next up, the league is launching the first ever “Vote for the GOAT” program. “Throughout this season, the WNBA and our fans are celebrating the impact the WNBA has made on sports and society over a quarter of a century,” said WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. “I can think of no better way to honor those responsible for that impact than by unveiling the members of this prestigious group, The W25. These athletes have played the game at the highest level on the court – they are scorers and rebounders, assist makers and defensive stoppers, leaders and mentors. In the community, they have powerful voices, individually and collectively, speaking out on important issues in our society. Together, they have transformed the way the game is played, changed the way athletes are viewed, become incredible role models, and inspired generations of young, diverse athletes.” In March, the WNBA introduced the “The W25” platform in order to select and honor the 25 most dominant, skilled and entertaining players in league history. These game-changing athletes were selected based on their overall contribution to the league and community by a panel of select media and women’s basketball pioneers.
