Swin Cash (born September 22, 1979, in McKeesport, Pennsylvania) won championships at every stop of a career built on versatility. At the University of Connecticut, Cash won national titles in 2000 and 2002 — the latter an undefeated season in which she was named the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player. The second overall pick of the 2002 WNBA draft, she won championships with the Detroit Shock in 2003 and 2006 and with the Seattle Storm in 2010, made four All-Star teams, and won two Olympic gold medals (2004, 2012). A 6-foot-1 forward who guarded every position, she played fifteen WNBA seasons and passed into the league's executive era as a front-office leader with the New Orleans Pelicans and as a broadcaster. Her Cash Building Blocks foundation and girls' program work in McKeesport anchor the civic half of her record. She was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2022.
