Former UConn Huskies star Napheesa Collier has just achieved what could be considered the greatest postseason performance in WNBA history.
Although Collier’s Minnesota Lynx fell short of a championship, her outstanding performance throughout the playoffs is undeniable.
The 28-year-old, four-time All-Star left a lasting impression on UConn, Lynx, and WNBA fans with her postseason display.
The official UConn women’s basketball account highlighted the WNBA records that Collier shattered during the 2024 playoffs.
“Most points in a WNBA postseason (285). Tied for most points in a single WNBA Playoffs game (42). Most steals in a WNBA Finals series (17). Most points over a two-game WNBA Playoffs stretch (80). First player to lead WNBA Playoffs in points, rebounds, steals, and blocks.”
Collier’s accomplishment deserves more recognition, especially with the spotlight on three-time WNBA champion Breanna Stewart, another former Husky.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate what Collier has achieved as it may not be seen again in the WNBA Playoffs for a long time, if ever.
