One of the most consequential — and fun — seasons in the WNBA's history is now in the books. And it lived up to the hype.
- A'ja Wilson, who may be the unanimous choice for the league's MVP, set new records for the most points (1,021), rebounds (451) and blocks (98) in a single season. No one else has ever held all three records at the same time.
- Caitlin Clark set a record for most assists in a season, and became the first WNBA rookie ever to notch a triple-double. (She had two, actually.) Putting together her average scoring, rebounding and assists per game, she's one of the best rookies the league has ever seen.
- Attendance was up 44%, mostly driven by tickets to see Clark's team.
