When it comes to the free throw line, 9 is a magic number.

The greats surpass 90 percent from the line — near automatic once they get to the charity stripe. But few greats, even in the NBA, have ever been on 2015 WNBA MVP Elena Delle Donne’s level when it comes to foul shooting.

In 2015, EDD continued to put the “free” in free throw. The Chicago Sky superstar…

• Set the WNBA record among players who’ve attempted at least 100 free throws in a season at 95%
• Set the WNBA record with 58 consecutive makes at the foul line (later broken by DeWanna Bonner)
• Has now missed 29 free throws in her entire 77-game career

… all while using her unique skill set to get to the line at a higher rate than any other player.
