WNBA emojis to feature league’s 20 greatest players

There are emojis for just about everything nowadays. Go on Twitter or Instagram, and it appears the posts are half words and half emojis (or emoticons, if you wish).

So…emojis of the 20 greatest WNBA players? Absolutely!

The WNBA today announced that its 20 greatest players of all time will now have emojis that can be downloaded through the NBAmoji app at the App Store and Google Play.

The list of the 20 greatest players was announced earlier this month. It includes nine current WNBA players, such as Candace Parker, Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore, and Swin Cash and 11 former players including Ticha Penicheiro, Cynthia Cooper, Sheryl Swoopes, and Teresa Weatherspoon.

YinzCam, an app developer that last year sold an equity stake to the NBA, worked in collaboration to develop these emojis.
