2017 WNBA MVP Sylvia Fowles was the leading vote-getter, receiving 39 of 40 first-team votes and 195 total points. She’s joined on the First Team by teammate Maya Moore, the Liberty’s Tina Charles, the Sparks’ Candace Parker, and the Wings’ Skylar Diggins-Smith.

Moore, Parker, and Charles are also previous MVP winners. Every member of the First Team has been there before, led by Charles, who has been named to an All-WNBA team in each of her eight seasons in the league. Moore made the First Team for the fifth consecutive year.

The All-WNBA Second Team was west-heavy, with Brittney Griner and Diana Taurasi getting the nod from Phoenix, and the Sparks’ Nneka Ogwumike and Chelsea Gray earning two more spots. The Sun’s Jonquel Jones is the Second Team’s geographic outlier.

Parker, Ogwumike, and Gray give the Sparks three players on the postseason awards list, good for the most of any team in the league.

And perhaps by no coincidence, five of the 10 All-WNBA selections are currently playing in the WNBA Finals. The Lynx and Sparks are tied at a game a piece headed into Game 3, which will tip Friday night in Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET.

Each first-team member received $10,000 as a reward, while second-team selections received $5,000.
