Records
Ogunbowale's career is defined by a series of clutch performances and scoring milestones. Her two game-winning shots in the 2018 NCAA tournament are among the most memorable moments in women's college basketball history. In the WNBA, she became the first player to win All-Star MVP twice, and her 2024 All-Star Game scoring record underscores her ability to rise to the occasion. She has been an All-Star in every season since 2021, reflecting her consistent elite-level play. Off the court, her two Community Assist Awards highlight her commitment to giving back, and her role as a TIAA ambassador has amplified conversations about gender retirement inequality.
