A starting guard for the East in all four WNBA All-Star games, New York's Teresa Weatherspoon is the WNBA's all-time assists and steals leader and one of only five WNBA players to play in every game since the league began in 1997.
Last season, Weatherspoon averaged 5.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game as she helped lead the Liberty back to the WNBA Finals. She recorded her 1,000th career assist vs. Detroit on June 5, becoming the first WNBA player to put up both 1,000 points and assists in a career. In 2002, T-Spoon ranked second in the league in assists per 40 minutes (7.6), third in assists per game (5.7) and total assists (181) and sixth in assists per turnover (2.32).
With only two games under her belt this season*, Weatherspoon is averaging 2.5 points and 3.5 assists per game.
