Since the formation of the WNBA, the Houston Comets have won four of the finals game, all under Coach Van Chancellor. In each one of these games, Cynthia Cooper was named the MVP. To this day, many consider her one of the greatest women’s basketball players ever. The only other player to receive the Finals MVP award more than once is Lisa Leslie of the Los Angeles Sparks, who was the first player to dunk in a WNBA game.
