""It's only been done once before and that player was the MVP," Minnesota head coach Cheryl Reeve said. "Phee deserves that recognition. The numbers don't lie ... It's done from start to finish (of the season). 50/40/90 is historic. I don't know how long it will be before it happens again. Napheesa Collier has been the best player in the WNBA. She deserves MVP.""
"Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier made her MVP case Thursday night, becoming just the second player in WNBA history to finish a regular season with a 50-40-90 shooting split after the Lynx's 72-58 win over the visiting Golden State Valkyries. Collier, who shot 53% from the floor, 40% on 3s and 91% from the free throw line, joins Elena Delle Donne (2019) as the only WNBA players to achieve this mark for a full season."
Napheesa Collier finished the regular season shooting 53% from the floor, 40% on three-pointers and 91% from the free-throw line, completing a 50-40-90 split. Collier joins Elena Delle Donne as the only WNBA players to achieve that mark for a full season and is the first to do so while averaging over 20 points per game, at 22.9. Coach Cheryl Reeve set the goal at the start of the season and pushed Collier to take a higher volume of threes. Collier tracked the exact makes and percentages needed and narrowly achieved the milestone.
