The most-decorated Baylor athlete in school history, regardless of sport, Griner was a three-time National Player of the Year, three-time first-team All-American and three-time WBCA Defensive Player of the Year. She is ranked third all-time on the NCAA Division I women's basketball scoring list with 3,283 points and set the NCAA record – men's or women's – with 748 career blocks.

Leading the Bears to two Final Four appearances and a four-year record of 135-15 (2009-13), Griner was the NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player on the first 40-0 national championship team in 2012. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 WNBA Draft, she is an eight-time all-star and two-time Defensive Player of the Year with the Phoenix Mercury and just captured her third Olympic gold medal with USA Basketball in Paris.
