Who the most “dominant” athlete of the last 75 years?🧐🔥

When you bring up sisters — or more specifically, twins — in women’s college basketball, the Gonzalez twins have to be part of that conversation. Dakota and Dylan Gonzalez, both Idaho natives, opened their careers at Kansas before transferring to UNLV for their final two seasons. Dakota became a key scorer for the Lady Rebels, averaging (13.5) points, (5.1) rebounds, (2.0) assists, and (1.6) steals across her two-year run. Dylan added (7.6) points, (3.8) rebounds, and (1.3) steals, giving the program another active guard on the perimeter. They entered a program that had posted eight losing seasons in the previous nine years, yet their arrival helped flip the direction almost immediately. UNLV won 18 games in their first season together and followed that with 22 wins the next year, including victories over USC and Ole Miss. The twins ultimately chose to forego their final year of eligibility to pursue their music careers — a decision that still sparks the question: could UNLV have made the NCAA Tournament had they returned? The year after they left, the Lady Rebels tied for first in the Mountain West before falling in double overtime to Nevada in the conference quarterfinals. Off the court, Dakota and Dylan were two of the most recognizable players in the sport. Even as freshmen at Kansas, each had more than 500,000 Instagram followers, putting them well ahead of the social media curve long before NIL existed. Would they have been major NIL earners in today’s landscape? Without a doubt. Their blend of on-court production, marketability, and massive online presence would’ve placed them near the top of the college basketball NIL world. ✨
