Delaware basketball legend Elena Delle Donne is reportedly selected to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
Delle Donne, former 76ers head coach Glenn “Doc” Rivers, WNBA great Candace Parker and NBA star Amar’e Stoudamire are among those headed to the Hall of Fame according to a report from ESPN Tuesday afternoon.
Delle Donne enters in her first year of eligibility
She is a two-time WNBA Most Valuable Player, winning in 2015 with the Chicago Sky and in 2019 with the Washington Mystics.
She was the first WNBA player to win the MVP with two different teams, but her move to Washington not only got her closer to home, it also got her a title as she led the Mystics to the WNBA championship in 2019.
The seven-time All-Star and four-time all WNBA First Team selection was also named to the WNBA’s 25th anniversary team in 2021.
Delle Donne also won the WNBA Rookie of the Year in 2013 after being selected second in the 2013 WNBA Draft.
In high school, she was a force at Ursuline Academy, winning four state championships and becoming the state’s all-time leading scorer.
In college, Delle Donne was a two-time First Team All-American at the University of Delaware leading the Blue Hens to the Sweet 16 in 2013.
She also helped the 2016 U.S. Olympic team win the gold medal in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The official hall announcement is expected this weekend.
