WNBA career

Lennox was selected by the Minnesota Lynx as the #6 overall pick in the 2000 WNBA Draft and later became the WNBA's Rookie of the Year in 2000.

On June 13, 2002, the Lynx traded Lennox along with a 2003 first-round draft pick to the Miami Sol in exchange for Tamara Moore and a 2003 second-round draft pick. After the 2002 season ended, the Miami Sol folded, and Lennox was selected by the Cleveland Rockers in the 2003 WNBA Dispersal draft. When the Rockers folded after the 2003 season ended, Lennox went through another Dispersal Draft before the 2004 season. This time, she was selected by the Seattle Storm.

Lennox led the Seattle Storm to the 2004 WNBA Championship against the Connecticut Sun. She was named the recipient of the WNBA Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) award for the Storm's championship run. Betty averaged 22.3 points during the Storm's championship run en route to winning the award.
