WNBA Top 20 All-Time Players: The Guru Offers You the Chance to be His Committee

By Mel Greenberg @womhoopsguru

Quick timeout. When I dropped the attachment into this word file just now the bios also made it so you have them way below and ignore that I will get you the bios since they are there.

You will probably have to copy this, print it twice, and then you can work it so you have bios in hand while considering candidates.

Time in and we go with the original written here on out and you can be the mock panel.

OK, as mentioned on twitter, your Guru was part of a select panel – did not know who else until the press release Thursday afternoon – to choose from 60 eligibles the top 20 WNBA players of all time.

The results will be announced Tuesday morning and the WNBA site and the Guru’s site has further details.

But as a Guru gift here’s your chance to put your two cents into the mix ahead of the results, which the Guru does not know.

Below are the instructions and derivations as was given to us. If you want to put your on own vote into the mix, the breakdown is listed below. I still have to get the bios up.

The caveats.

First, put WNBA Mel Ballot into the email header so I can ship them into a special folder apart from normal ongoing Guru business.

Second  – if you are a regular blogger out there indicate that on your email so in addition to an overall result I can do a breakout with you guys, some of whom have privately indicated unhappiness with being left out of the mix – my only involvement was accepting invitation by the way.

Third when it comes time to write this – it may take a few days after the WNBA official release – if you want to have conversation, give me a cell or at the bottom I’ll leave a spot for commentary on your ballot.

You can send as an attachment if you figure out how, or cut and paste, but you will probably have to copy this post and save it in word and take it from there. If you have trouble with the form then just list your choices.

OK, here are the criteria as given to us.

It was determined that, to be considered for this honor, a player must have been a member of the WNBA for at least two seasons and must meet at least 3 of 7 criteria, all of which are listed below.  From there, a list of 80 names was initially generated and, through voting by an internal WNBA panel, that list was reduced to the attached list of 60 OFFICIAL CANDIDATES upon whom you will vote.

 

CRITERIA FOR SELECTION: Players must meet 3 of these 7 criteria…

1)               Been the winner of at least one major, individual post-season award/honor:

•         MVP, Finals MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, Most Improved Player, Sixth Woman of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Kim Perrot Award, or Peak Performer as the league leader in either points/rebounds/assists per game during any season

2)               Been selected to the All-WNBA First or Second Team

3)               Been selected to the All-Defensive First or Second Team

4)               Been selected to the WNBA All-Star Game (starter, reserve, or replacement player)

5)               Been a member of a WNBA championship-winning team

6)               Rank (as of 6/9/16) among the top 30 career leaders in at least one (1) major statistical category (pts, ppg, rebs, rpg, assists, apg, steals, spg, blocks, bpg)

7)               Been a member of either the WNBA’s All-Decade Team (voted on in 2006) or a member of The WNBA’s Top 15 Players (voted on in 2011)

And hopefully this works. Will try to get the bios up the next day or so for you to know who filled what category this ballot just tells you how many categories out of the eight each of the 60 met and are grouped as such. – Mel
