In the world of women’s basketball, one name continues to shine brighter than ever – Breanna Stewart. The New York Liberty superstar has clinched her second career WNBA MVP award, solidifying her status as one of the game’s greatest.
Stewart’s journey to this MVP accolade was nothing short of impressive. Over the course of the season, she showcased her incredible skills on the court, averaging an astounding 23.0 points per game. But scoring was just one facet of her game. Stewart also dished out assists, showing her playmaking abilities with an average of 3.8 per game.
