I have really collected the data from WNBA stats to make this visual of the Top 15 WNBA All Time Lead Scorer (1997-2019) due to Covid-19 pandemic the 2020 data hasn't been started yet for Women Basketball.Initially, regular-season Cup games were to be played through early July, followed by a final match in August; however, this schedule is subject to change due to disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic
LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY
The Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) is a professional basketball league in the United States. It is currently composed of twelve teams. The league was founded on April 22, 1996, as the women's counterpart to the National Basketball Association(NBA), and league play started in 1997. The regular season is played from May to September, with the All Star game being played midway through the season in July (except in Olympic years) and the WNBA Finals at the end of September until the beginning of October. Starting in 2020, a mid-season tournament, the Commissioner's Cup, will be added.
WNBA Basketball Rules
A regulation WNBA ball is 28.5 inches in circumference - one inch smaller than an NBA ball.
The WNBA has now expanded to 14 teams.
Games will now be divided into 10-minute quarters instead of 20-minute halves and the shot clock will be decreased to 24 seconds from 30 seconds.
