For much of Elena Delle Donne's remarkable basketball career, the spotlight followed her dominance on the court. But during her Hall of Fame speech, the WNBA legend turned that attention toward someone who has been a deeply important part of her life.
Delle Donne became emotional as she reflected on her sister and the extraordinary strength she has shown throughout her life.
The heartfelt tribute offered a deeply personal glimpse into the bond between the two sisters and why this moment meant far more to Delle Donne than any other basketball honor.
Delle Donne's connection with her sister, Lizzie, helped shape her basketball journey long before she became a WNBA superstar.
In 2008, the highly touted 6-foot-5 prospect lasted only about 48 hours at UConn under legendary coach Geno Auriemma before leaving Storrs and returning home to Delaware. The decision came down to family. Delle Donne wanted to be closer to Lizzie.
