A few hours before the suspenseful Game 3 between the Lynx and the Liberty, the WNBA revealed the lucky winners in both All-WNBA TeamsAnd Caitlin Clark (Fever) achieves the feat of being selected in the best five. This is the first time since Candace Parker in 2008 that a rookie has been named to the All-WNBA First Team.
In WBNA history, only five rookies have had the honor of being chosen in the best five of the year, and the other three are Sue Bird, Tamika Catchings and Diana Taurasi. Only legends!

Rookie Of The Year, the young star from Indiana obtained 52 votes out of 67, and only one journalist did not vote for her in one of the two All-WNBA Teams. By his side, Napheesa Collier (Lynx) and the MVP A’ja Wilson (Aces) are elected unanimously. Breanna Stewart (Liberty) and Alyssa Thomas (Sun) complete the first five.
