Annie Oakley

Sometimes you can earn a nickname on my team. For example, we have "The Badger" and "E Money." I've given the moniker "Oakley" to a shooter, but nobody on my team had even heard of Annie Oakley. 


"She shot a cigarette out of the hand of Kaiser Wilhelm" and "she was in one of the first motion pictures ever." She taught over 15,000 women how to shoot and she was an advocate for equal pay for women. 




Elena Delle Donne is among the basketball versions of Annie Oakley.

Note the eye-popping career free throw percentage of .939!

But in fairness to other WNBA (active) greats, Delle Donne isn't among the 3-point percentage leaders.

But none of that diminishes the work of Annie Oakley...
