So, Banham is the Maroon Mamba and Lloyd is the Gold Mamba. How many Mambas are, or have been, in the WNBA? |

Yikes, I missed that.
Way to further devalue the already played-out Mamba thing.
Taurasi is also one of course. She's the Potty-Mouthed Mamba. And I think Ionescu is the Persistent Wannabe Mamba.

I thought DT was anointed the White Mamba by Kobe himself. That, of course, doesn't mean she can't be more than one kind of mamba at the same time. Mambas are sneaky at striking from several directions.
It's only fair that everyone in the WNBA has a crack at being some kind of mamba.
More generally and seriously, I was wondering whether pilight makes up the nicknames that are traditionally attached to players in this thread, or whether he requires a third party naming source. |

I sometimes make up nicknames if there's not a well established one. I always look for outside sourcing first. Both Banham and Loyd were anointed as colorful mambas by someone else.

Nneka Ogwumike, the 17th player in WNBA history to reach 500 steals! Snapdragon is 32 years, 347 days old. She is the 8th youngest to reach 500. She took 327 games to reach 500, the 10th fastest ever. She is the 1st player from the class of 2012 to reach 500 steals!
She would be the youngest to 1000 if she got there by 7 August 2026. She would be the fastest to 1000 if she got there in her next 90 games.
NOTE: Ogwumike is the 1st 90s born player to reach 500 steals.

2009 is just the second class to have four players with 1000 assists, following 1999 (which had five)

I forgot about her! That’s probably the correct answer.

Had to look it up:
January - 1,340
Toliver - 1,300
Montgomery - 1,140
Bonner - 1,000
btw McCoughtry - 915

Breanna Stewart, the 43rd player in WNBA history to score 4000 points! The Ambassador is 28 years, 304 days old. She is the 5th youngest to score 4000. She took 196 games to score 4000, the fastest ever! She is the 1st player from the class of 2016 to score 4000!
She would be the fastest to 5000 if she got there in her next 48 games.

Is this the first time two players have crossed the same threshold on the same date?
Stewart being the fastest ever to 4000 is quite impressive. I’m trying to think of the four others youngest to cross it: Jackson, Taurasi, Moore, and maybe EDD?

It's the first time we've had two cross 4000 on the same day, let alone the same game. It's more common at lower thousand marks.
The four younger are Jackson, Taurasi, Charles, and Moore. Delle Donne isn't likely to set any marks for youngest, given her many missed games and her staying in school for a 5th year.

Absolutely insane to look at some of those names that were picked before Hayes.
Natalie Novasel? Kelly Cain?? Sasha Goodlet???
