On a night that celebrated the first 30 years of WNBA basketball, Jones did something none of Cynthia Cooper, Lisa Leslie or Diana Taurasi ever managed in their legendary careers.
Jones became the first player ever to win WNBA MVP, All-Star Game MVP, Commissioner's Cup MVP and WNBA Finals MVP in the same career.

— Underdog WNBA (@UnderdogWNBA) July 26, 2026 Even more impressively, Jones has secured all four awards in a five-year span. She won WNBA MVP as a member of the Connecticut Sun in 2021 before claiming Commissioner's Cup MVP with the Liberty in 2023. The following year, she was named Finals MVP as the Liberty won their first-ever championship.
Jones has long been one of the WNBA's most consistent and productive bigs. The reward for that consistency is a slice of league history that puts her squarely among the best frontcourt players of her era.
