Rebekkah Brunson (born December 11, 1981) is an American basketball coach and broadcast analyst. She is currently an assistant coach with the Minnesota Lynx of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA).[1] Brunson is a former forward for the Lynx and is the only player to win five WNBA championships. She held the WNBA record for rebounding,[2] which she ceded to Lynx center Sylvia Fowles in 2020.[3]
Brunson was born in Washington, D.C., and attended Oxon Hill High School in Maryland. Brunson graduated from Georgetown University in 2004 as its women's basketball program's all-time leading rebounder. She also played on the U.S. team in the 2003 Pan American Games.[4]
