Tamika Catchings and Maya Moore hold new WNBA All-Star Game records

Every big annual event has its storylines and the 2015 WNBA All-Star Game was no different. The 2015 WNBA All-Star game became the first WNBA All-Star Game to be televised on ABC, instead of a 2nd or 3rd tier channel on ESPN.

Minnesota Lynx guard Maya Moore tallied up 30 points, a WNBA All-Star Game record. Moore added six rebounds and five assists.

Indiana Fever forward and 2011 WNBA MVP Tamika Catchings now holds the record of 10 WNBA All-Star Game appearances. Catchings won’t be building on this record because this will be her last WNBA All-Star game. Catchings is retiring in 2016, and because of the 2016 Summer Olympics, there will be no 2016 WNBA All-Star Game.

"It's definitely sentimental," Catchings said, according to ESPN.com's Mechelle Voepel. "This is my last All-Star. My playing career will be over next year, but hopefully the legacy I leave behind will keep going."

Right now, Catchings’ legacy holds another WNBA All-Star game record. Catchings, finishing with eight points, 10 rebounds and six assists, is the all-time WNBA All-Star Game leading scorer with104 points! Historic! 

Our hometown player, New York Liberty center Tina Charles, did her best to represent the East. Charles showed off her brilliance early, leading all scorers with 13 points in the first half.

At game’s end, the WNBA Western conference defeated the East 117-112. And, Minnesota’s Maya Moore showed that she is not only an all-star but, an MVP, too.
