Collier, who was named MVP of the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday night after scoring a record-setting 36 points and grabbing nine rebounds, is the face of two leagues, one of which she co-founded. She has also emerged as a leading voice for the Women's National Basketball Players Association in their historic labor battle with the league.

The Minnesota Lynx have the best record in the WNBA at 20-4 with a 12-0 home mark and 14-2 mark in the Western Conference. The Lynx are led by star guard Napheesa Collier, who is averaging 23.2 points per game this season along with 7.

Napheesa Collier played the role of All-Star captain perfectly. First, she made all the right picks for her roster. Then she answered all the labor questions.

Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray and Los Angeles Sparks guard Kelsey Plum also had solid showings for Team Collier with 18 and 16 points.
