Allisha Gray made history as she became the first player to win both the 3-point and skills challenge events at the WNBA All-Star weekend on Friday. The Atlanta Dream guard earned a payday that almost equals her annual salary. She edged out New York Liberty forward Jonquel Jones in the shooting contest after having already beaten Phoenix Mercury player Sophie Cunningham in the skills challenge.

 

 

Allisha Gray had a dream performance as she triumphed at both the skills challenge and the 3-point contest at the WNBA All-Star weekend, where she became the first player to win both events in a single night.

The Atlanta Dream guard beat hometown favourite Sophie Cunningham in the skills challenge by just over two seconds in the final of the competition in Phoenix.

 

New York Liberty forward Jones is a formidable shooter from range, and is shooting 40% from beyond the arc this season.

 

 

“I was nervous because she went on a shooting streak,” Gray said. “JJ’s a great 3-point shooter. I even told her before, I was like, ‘I’m familiar with your shooting game. I know you going to go out there and kill it.’

 

 

“But when she got to that last one and the score was kind of close and she missed it, it was like sigh relief because she’s a great shooter.”

Gray admitted that having already competed in the skills challenge, her attempt to do both events caught up to her and caused some fatigue.

“I was a fatigued a little bit from the skills challenge, but I was there to lock in,” she said.
