Elite playmaking point guard and all-time great passer whose creative vision and WNBA championship made her one of the most celebrated guards in league history.
Courtney Vandersloot was born in Cashmere, Washington on 13 November 1989. Widely regarded as one of the greatest passers in WNBA history, Vandersloot redefined what passing excellence looks like in women's basketball. She set the WNBA single-season assists record multiple times and in 2020 averaged an extraordinary 10.1 assists per game — a WNBA record. She spent the majority of her career with the Chicago Sky, where she was the team's heartbeat and won the WNBA Championship in 2021. She later joined the New York Liberty. Her relationship with teammate Allie Quigley — they are married — is one of women's sport's most celebrated couples. Her playmaking, selflessness and basketball IQ have made her a role model for an entire generation of point guards.
