If you love basketball, then you have probably heard of some of the records held by Women's National Basketball Association. There are several records held at the league by women including Sabrina Ionescu’s three-double, Sue Bird’s double–double record, Liz Cambage’s scoring record, as well as Liz Cambage’s scoring mark. Candice Parker has a career page.
Sabrina Ionescu's tripledouble
Sabrina Ionescu's triple-double career record is impressive. As a college player, she averaged 17.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 6.5 assists. After only three games as an rookie, she won this record midway through her third year.
Ionescu's production in the first half of this season was a bit below her triple-double mark. Her second half performance was great. The New York Liberty improved their record to 9-12 with her 24 points and eight rebound assists. They are now within half a game in the playoffs.
Sue Bird's double double
Sue Bird, Seattle Storm guard set the WNBA Record for Career Assists with 2,600. Bird's doubled-double on Friday against the Las Vegas Aces is one of the most significant in league history. Ticha Penicheiro had previously held the record with a 3-pointer during transition. The 30-year-old veteran has now passed Ticha Penicheiro. The Seattle Storm led by 8 points with 1:50 to go. Bird broke her record with a 3-pointer in transition assisted by Breanna Stewart.
Sue Bird has left a legacy in basketball second only to Kareem Abou-Jabbar. Her two-decade career with the Seattle Storm saw her win four championships and 13 All Star games.
