From the No.2 pick in the 2008 WNBA draft to the leagues all-time leading rebounder and arguably the greatest center of all-time.
“You love to play with her and hate to play against her.” She is one of the league's most beloved players.
Shockingly enough, the WNBA was never a dream for Sylvia, but it quickly became a reality as she made her presence felt in the paint throughout her fourteen-year career. Instead, her "goal is always how can I deflect that and make other people feel good," this gives you some insight into the type of person Sylvia Fowles is.
In February 2022, Sylvia Fowles announced she planned to retire after her final season with the Minnesota Lynx. Fowles is an avid knitter, bike rider, mortician in training, and has plans to become a mother.

"If I had to choose I’d want my legacy to be known for consistency. I’ve been dominating for a while now, that’s something I don’t want to go unnoticed."
—Sylvia Fowles
