San Antonio Silver Stars Becky Hammon

2007 - Trade for “Big Shot Becky”

On April 4, 2007, during the WNBA Draft, Becky Hammon was traded to the Silver Stars, along with a second-round draft pick in the 2008 draft, for the second overall first-round pick in the 2007 WNBA Draft, center Jessica Davenport. Hammon posted career-high averages of 18.8 ppg (fourth-best) and 5.0 APG (first in WNBA) in 2007. While in San Antonio, Hammon earned the nickname, “Big Shot Becky” because of her ability to hit shots in clutch moments. It comes from the nickname “Big Shot Bob” given to San Antonio Spurs forward, Robert Horry.
