Add another accolade to the list. 

This weekend, Dr. Dish Fam member Skylar Diggins-Smith will be competing in her sixth WNBA All-Star game, with all of her appearances coming since 2014. Diggins-Smith, Sue Bird, Tina Charles, and Nneka Ogwumike are the only four players to be selected six times in that span.

 

The future Hall of Famer's selection didn't come without its share of drama, though. After getting the required amount of votes from both fans and media, Diggins-Smith ranked 14th in the player vote, which put her on the outside looking in before the coaches solidified her nod.

And it's well-deserved.

For Diggins-Smith, 2022 has been another banner year in her storied career, ranking in the top 5 in scoring (19.1 PPG) and steals (1.81 SPG) as well as reaching the 4,000 career points threshold. She's also been putting on a show on both ends of the floor, with a nearly endless highlight reel just from the first half of this season.

 

The 2022 WNBA All-Star Game tips off this Sunday, July 10th at 1 p.m. on ABC.
