    Why Elena Delle Donne could be the GOAT

    Delle Donne was the most efficient scorer the WNBA has seen: in 2019 she became the first player to shoot 50-40-90 in a season, then won the title while playing through three herniated discs. Her blend of size and shooting was unique, even if injuries shortened her peak.

    Elena Delle Donne head to head

    How the ranking works. Every head-to-head vote is a result, like a game. The standings use a Bradley–Terry model, the same idea behind chess ratings: beating a highly rated legend counts for more than beating a long shot. Ratings are shown on a chess-style scale centred on 1500.

    One vote per matchup per person. If you see a pairing again in another session your new answer replaces the old one, so nobody can stuff the ballot by repeating a matchup.

    Anonymous by design. No account needed. A quick bot check from Cloudflare runs once when you arrive, and your votes are tied to a random ID kept in your browser, not to your name or email. Privacy policy.
