Ann Wauters is tweede beste speelster van Europa

Ann Wauters is door de Italiaanse sportkrant La Gazzetta dello Sport uitgeroepen tot tweede beste basketspeelster van Europa. In een referendum onder een honderdtal journalisten, trainers en speelsters uit 27 landen, moest onze landgenote, die 31 punten verzamelde, alleen de Letse Aneta Jekabsone-Zogota van Dinamo Moskou (38 ptn) voor zich dulden. De Russin Maria Stepanova (26 ptn) van CSKA Moskou eindigde derde. Ann Wauters, die voor het Russische Samara uitkomt, grijpt zo dus naast een vijfde bekroning. Ze won de trofee in 2001, 2002, 2004 en 2005.


Bij de mannen ging de trofee naar Tony Parker. De in Brugge geboren Fransman werd voor de derde keer NBA-kampioen met de Spurs en werd verkozen tot MVP van de finale. Parker kreeg 128 punten. De dichtste ereplaatsen waren voor de Duitse spelmaker van Dallas Dirk Nowitzki (111 ptn), die de vijf vorige jaren had gewonnen, en de Rus Andrei Kirilenko van Utah (85 ptn). (belga/sps)

Similarly like last year, here we announce the final results of All-Europe Year End Awards for Women.
The votes were based on the group of Eurobasket correspondents, who provide women basketball coverage. There were 20 basketball experts, who sent their votes. The awards were made in two categories: All-Europe and All-Europeans. All-Europe applies to the players, who played in European leagues in last and this season, so it may apply also to non-European players, who played as imports in Europe. All-Europeans category applies only to Europeans, but also these, who did not play in Europe, only overseas (mostly in WNBA).
The best player in Europe was American Diana Taurasi (182-G-82), who lead Spartak Moscow Region to their best season in the history: double championship in Russian Superleague and Euroleague.
She was followed by her teammate Tina Thompson (188-F-75), who was best scorer in both Euroleague and Russian League.
The third spot went to Belgian Ann Wauters (194-C-80). Wauters was the best scorer of European Championships in Italy as well as best scorer of one of top Women Euroleague teams - CSKA Samara.
Ann Wauters was also voted best European player. The second-best European was another player from CSKA Samara - Spanish Amaya Valdemoro (184-F-76). The third spor went to 2006 superstar (won both categories) Maria Stepanova (202-C-79) of CSKA Moscow (RUS).
