Seattle Storm icon Sue Bird and four-time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year Sylvia Fowles were two of the four former players named on Friday to the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame.

Former two-time DPOY Alana Beard and 2007 WNBA Finals MVP Cappie Pondexter will join them in the Class of 2025.

College basketball head coach Mark Campbell, former college basketball head coach Lucille Kyvallos and former WNBA executive Danielle Donehew were also named to the Hall of Fame on Friday.

The Class of 2025 will be honored on June 14 in a ceremony at the Tennessee Theater in Knoxville.

Bird became a star at UConn, where she led the Huskies to two NCAA championships. She then powered the Storm to four championships between 2004 and 2020 and retired in 2022 leading all WNBA players with 3,234 career assists.

Beard, who left Duke as the program's all-time leading scorer, spent the first eight seasons of her WNBA with the Washington Mystics, where she was named to four All-Defensive Teams. She later was named Defensive Player of the Year in 2017 and 2018.

Fowles, a former LSU star, earned two MVP Finals titles during the Minnesota Lynx's run to the 2015 and 2017 championships. She received her fourth DPOY title in 2021, which marked the most for any player in WNBA history behind only Tamika Catchings.

Pondexter, who was named the Big East Player of the Year during her Rutgers career, went on to lead the Phoenix Mercury to the 2007 championship with a Finals MVP performance before helping the Mercury claim another title in 2009.

Pondexter, Bird and Fowles played on the USA women's basketball team that won gold during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Fowles has three additional Olympic gold medals, while Bird holds five.

Campbell was named head coach at TCU in March 2023. Before joining the Horned Frogs he worked on the staffs of both Oregon State and Oregon, where he was credited with recruiting Sabrina Ionescu, before spending three seasons as head coach at Sacramento State. He boasts a 63-36 overall record as head coach.

Kyvallos coached at West Chester University, and later led Queens College to a national championship in the second year of the AIAW women's basketball tournament. She coached the USA women's basketball team to a silver medal during the 1977 World University Games in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Donehew currently serves as executive director of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association. She is credited for serving a role in bringing the Atlanta Dream to Georgia, and previously served as EVP for the Dream after working as Assistant Athletics Director for Basketball Operations for the University of Tennessee.

Nera White and Lusia Harris-Stewart became the first women's basketball players inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 1992. The Women's Basketball Hall of Fame opened in 1999 and has since inducted more than 170 members.
