The MVP Race: Is Napheesa Collier More Than Just Her Stats?

Is Napheesa Collier's value as an MVP candidate solely based on her impressive numbers? Or is there more to the story? According to her teammate Courtney Williams, it's the latter. The Lynx forward has been praised for her adaptability, leadership, and humility - qualities that set her apart from other star players in the league. Collier recently made history by scoring at least 115 points, grabbing 50 rebounds, recording 25 steals and blocks, along with 20 assists in any five-game stretch.

Her teammate Williams couldn't help but gush about Collier's impact on the team: 'When you putting up the type of numbers that she putting up and you a superstar, like it's so hard to meet for me, personally. I can only speak for myself but Phee is the most humble superstar I've ever been around.' Even rookie phenom Caitlin Clark, who faced Collier twice this season, was in awe of her performance: 'She does so much for her team. There were a few times she made a few shots and I caught myself like 'dang, can't guard't guard that.'
