Ticha and Dawn: Simply the best

ODU's Ticha Penicheiro and Virginia's Dawn Staley were voted two of the WNBA's top 15 players of all time, a list that was announced at halftime of Saturday's All-Star game.

Each of the 10 players selected to the All-Decade Team in 2006 made this current list, including Sue Bird, Tamika Catchings, Cynthia Cooper, Yolanda Griffith, Lauren Jackson, Lisa Leslie, Katie Smith, Staley, Sheryl Swoopes and Tina Thompson. The newcomers include honorable mentions from that team, Penicheiro, Diana Taurasi and Teresa Weatherspoon, as well as Becky Hammon and Cappie Pondexter.
