Seimone Augustus was one of the greatest players in WNBA history, known for her smooth scoring ability, leadership, and clutch performances. A college basketball superstar at LSU, Augustus was selected first overall by the Minnesota Lynx in the 2006 WNBA Draft. She quickly became the face of the franchise, leading the Lynx to four WNBA championships (2011, 2013, 2015, 2017) and establishing herself as one of the league’s most efficient scorers.

A seven-time WNBA All-Star, Augustus was instrumental in turning the Lynx into a dynasty. Her ability to score from anywhere on the court, combined with her leadership and poise in high-pressure situations, made her one of the most respected players in the game.

She also won three Olympic gold medals (2008, 2012, 2016) with Team USA. Augustus retired in 2021 and later transitioned into coaching, leaving a lasting legacy on women’s basketball.
