The WNBA All-Star game is this weekend. Last week the league announced Nneka Ogwumike as an All-Star game reserve. However, I think Nneka deserves to be an All-Star game starter. Numbers don’t lie and Nneka is killing it this year. She is averaging 16.3 points per game with the Los Angeles Sparks.

Nneka An All-Star Game Reserve

The WNBA 16th All-Star Game tips off on Saturday, July 27 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The starters were revealed last Thursday with Washington’s Elena Delle Donne and Las Vegas’ A’ja Wilson set as team captains. The WNBA is doing something similar to the NBA selecting the captains for the All-Star game.

Nneka scored 24 points in Tuesday’s game versus the Atlanta Dream. She is performing caliber basketball and taking the lead for the team. So, therefore, she deserves to be an All-Star Game starter. There is no doubt Nneka should be in the starting line up. Few players in the team are scoring double digits day in and day out while crashing the boards.

She is averaging 9.4 total rebounds this year. The energy she ensues her team while in time outs or the free throw huddle is amazing.

Team Delle Donne

On Tuesday the Team captains selected their team for the WNBA All-Star game. Los Angeles superstar Nneka was selected as Team Delle Donne along with Brittney Griner, Jonquel Jones, DeWanna Bonner, and more. What an incredible group of athletes for both teams. In fact, It is going to be a battle and enticing game for the fans in attendance.

In conclusion, it’s going to be a great game between the two teams. Team Delle Donne and Team Wilson. Nneka will be going against her Sparks teammate Chelsea Gray. Don’t miss the action on July 27 at 3:30 pm ET on ABC.
