What BBN said about it

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorGabby Williams scored two points in the first half of Game Seven and twenty-eight after it, and the Valkyries won the WNBA title, sixty-eight to sixty-three over Atlanta.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentTwo in the first half. So for twenty minutes she was just a person in the building.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThat's called a slow start, and Steve Kerr called the title a great reminder of the fun of a championship run.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorChris Mullin called her Game Seven incredible.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWho's Chris Mullin?

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorA Hall of Famer, Kenji! He walks in, they stand up! You walk in, they ask for a ticket!

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOkay, but the stat I actually like is the threes. She made one in her whole college career, then four in Game Seven.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorTwo eighteen left, and that's the one that counted. Four threes in one night after one in her whole college career. She skipped every dress rehearsal.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorSecond season, eighth seed, and they're champions. Owner Joe Lacob called her the best player in the world.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentTwo points before halftime and thirty at the end. That's the cleanest highlight reel ever made, because the first half has nothing to clip.
