WNBA vs. USA Basketball

July 10, 2010

The Seattle Storm’s Sue Bird led all players (127,490) in final returns of the 2010 “WNBA vs. USA Basketball: The Stars at the Sun” Balloting presented by T-Mobile USA, with San Antonio Silver Star Becky Hammon (116,391) finishing second. Fans worldwide had the opportunity to select their favorite players by voting in person at WNBA arenas, the NBA Store and NBA Nation presented by T-Mobile and Kia Motors and WNBA.com.

WNBA vs. USA Basketball: The Stars at the Sun will showcase the world’s best female basketball players under one roof when the WNBA’s top talent faces the USA Basketball Women’s National at Mohegan Sun Arena on July 10.

Rounding out the top five are Indiana Fever’s Tamika Catchings (100,248), Phoenix Mercury’s Diana Taurasi (93,649) and Bird’s Seattle teammate, Swin Cash (85,236). Joining them as fan favorites are Storm’s Lauren Jackson (80,392), Los Angeles Sparks’ Candace Parker (78,624), Silver Star teammates, Jayne Appel (69,316), Michelle Snow (67,906) and Sophia Young (65,974).

A limited number of tickets are still available by logging on to ticketmaster.com or by calling (877) WNBA-TIX. "WNBA vs. USA Basketball: The Stars at the Sun” will be televised by ESPN at 3:30 p.m. E.T. and the coverage will be presented by adidas"
