Best WNBA Player ESPY Award

The Best WNBA Player ESPY Award has been presented annually since 1993 to the Women's National Basketball Association player, irrespective of nationality, adjudged to be the best in a given year.

Between 1993 and 2004, the award voting panel comprised variously fans; sportswriters and broadcasters, sports executives, and retired sportspersons, termed collectively experts; and retired sportspersons, but balloting thereafter has been exclusively by fans over the Internet from amongst choices selected by the ESPN Select Nominating Committee.

Through the 2001 iteration of the ESPY Awards, ceremonies were conducted in February of each year to honor achievements over the previous calendar year, typically in the season immediately precedent to the holding of the ESPY Awards ceremony; awards presented thereafter are conferred in June and reflect performance from the June previous[1], or parts of two WNBA seasons.
