5 WNBA Records That May Never Be Broken
The WNBA has seen elite-level athletes push the limits of the game for nearly three decades. But some feats stand so tall, it’s hard to imagine anyone matching them, let alone breaking them. Here are five WNBA records that may never fall.
WNBA records that may never fall.
5. Candace Parker’s Rookie MVP Season
In 2008, Candace Parker didn’t just make a splash, she changed the league. Parker became the only player in WNBA history to win MVP and Rookie of the Year in the same season. The odds of another rookie ever replicating that dominance? Slim to none.
4. Tulsa Shock’s 20-Game Losing Streak
Not all records are worth celebrating. The Tulsa Shock’s infamous 20-game losing streak in 2011 still stands as a brutal benchmark for futility. With today’s focus on player development and talent balance, teams rarely spiral this badly anymore.
3. The Houston Comets’ Four-Peat
Winning one championship is hard. Winning two? Rarer still. But from 1997 to 2000, the Houston Comets went on a tear and won four straight WNBA titles. In a league with so much parity and evolving rosters, a four-peat seems all but impossible now.
2. Diana Taurasi’s WNBA Career Points Record
With over 10,000 career points, Diana Taurasi is the WNBA’s all-time leading scorer. Even with rising stars putting up big numbers, longevity, consistency, and health all factor in. Taurasi’s scoring legacy may be untouchable for generations.
1. Lisa Leslie’s 7 Blocks in a Half
In 2004, Lisa Leslie turned into a defensive wall, recording seven blocks in just one half of a game. It’s the kind of dominance rarely seen even across full games, let alone just two quarters. No one has matched that since, and it’s unlikely anyone will soon.
Which record do you think might actually get broken one day? Let us know in the comments!
