New York Liberty center Jonquel Jones was named the MVP of the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game in Chicago [1].
This achievement cements Jones as one of the most decorated players in professional basketball history. By securing this trophy, she became the only player in league history to win MVP awards in the regular season, the WNBA Finals, the Commissioner's Cup, and the All-Star Game [2].
Jones led Team Spoon to a 129-122 victory over Team Coop during the event on Saturday night, July 6 [1, 3]. Her performance was a double-double, recording 22 points [4], 13 rebounds [4], and eight assists [4].
The game, held in Illinois, showcased the league's top talent in a high-scoring affair. Jones served as the anchor for Team Spoon, utilizing her versatility to control the boards and facilitate the offense — a performance that ultimately secured her the game's highest individual honor [1, 3].
While the All-Star Game is an exhibition, the historical weight of this specific MVP collection is unprecedented. No other player has managed to sweep these four distinct honors, marking a milestone for the New York Liberty star [2].
“Jonquel Jones became the only player in league history to win MVP awards in the regular season, Finals, Commissioner's Cup, and All-Star Game.”
The completion of this 'MVP quartet' elevates Jonquel Jones into a unique statistical category of her own. By winning the most prestigious individual awards across every possible WNBA format—regular season, postseason, mid-season exhibition, and the specialized Commissioner's Cup—she has established a benchmark for versatility and sustained excellence that may not be matched for years.
