1. Los Angeles Sparks

Go figure.

Nneka has indicated that she would like to stay with the Sparks in LA and it’s highly unlikely that she’ll ever move, but we’re allowed to have some fun, aren’t we?

She entered the league in 2012 and was a playoff feature for the first eight years of her career. This stretch included six All-Star appearances, an MVP and a championship. The past two years have seen less team success, but she’s added another All-Star appearance, as well as an appearance in Space Jam.

The only questions that surround the Sparks are about who’s going to surround Ogwumike. They have already brought in Jasmine Thomas but this roster is still a few moves away from being a contender.

Nevertheless, yes, I did overcomplicate things. Being the face of LA has to feel pretty good.
