Player Info

Brittney Griner, the dominant center for the Atlanta Dream, is one of the most formidable and iconic players in basketball history. The No. 1 overall pick in 2013 out of Baylor, Griner spent a decorated decade with the Phoenix Mercury, leading them to a championship in 2014 and earning multiple Defensive Player of the Year and All-Star honors. Standing 6'9", she revolutionized the women's game with her unparalleled shot-blocking, dunking ability, and efficient scoring in the paint. Her well-documented wrongful detention in Russia was a global story, and her triumphant return to the WNBA with the Mercury, and now the Dream, has been inspirational. A multi-time Olympic gold medalist, Griner's impact transcends statistics. She is a cultural icon and an advocate for social justice. On the court, her mere presence alters offensive game plans, and her offensive game is both powerful and skilled. Griner remains a premier force, a defensive anchor, and a symbol of resilience.
