"To be voted as one of the Top 15 players of all time leaves me speechless," Weatherspoon said. "I have an overwhelming feeling of joy and appreciation. It tells me my hard work didn't go unnoticed, and to be voted in by the fans makes it even more special to me."
"Everyone can play inside, outside, shoot the ball, extend defenses," she said. "It's good to see that every year it gets better, every year someone tries to change their game to look even better."
