The moment has finally arrived, voting is over, and the announcement has been made. After an epic comeback season, winning this year’s scoring title, and carrying the Chicago Sky to another playoff appearance, our 2015 WNBA Most Valuable Player is:
ELENA DELLE DONNE!!!!!
The 1st time MVP Elena lead the league overall in both scoring and point made, averaging 23.4 pts in 31 games, scoring at least 40 points twice, 30 points five times, and 20 points 21 times. She also shot a WNBA-best 95.0 percent (207-for-218) from the free throw line and finished third in the league in rebounding (8.4 rpg) and blocked shots (2.06 bpg). She racked up 10 double-doubles this season, who has the ability to play ALL 5 positions on the floor, and received 38/39 first place votes.
Following the announcement moments ago, Nike posted their own salute to Elena, releasing an Elena Delle Donne MVP T-shirt (available in Nike Chicago) and an Elena Delle Donne-inspired NIKEiD HyperRev (available from nike.com).
Congratulations to you Elena on an inspiring an epic season. A true testament of perseverance, dedication, and faith. Now on to this title run!
