Breanna Stewart lived up to her advertised expectations and finally brought the New York Liberty a championship.
After 27 years, 40 games, 12 more playoff contests, and even a fateful overtime period, the New York Liberty finally stand as WNBA champions.
Stewart put forth an MVP effort in her metropolitan debut, setting numerous seafoam-branded records in her wake. She put forth a career-best 23 points per game, pairing them with 9.3 rebounds while expanding her scoring reach to the outside, hitting a career-best 82 triples as she joined the Liberty's three-pointer.
In her encore, Stewart's early efforts created the type of digits that 98 percent of other players would die for , something still felt off about her game. Perhaps it was the struggle to retain her outside prowess or lingering turnover issues but something seemed just a tad askew in the early going, especially with Wilson and Napheesa Collier separating themselves in the new MVP race.
The grittier side of Stewart emerged amidst a meager scoreboard, as she capped off the series with three consecutive double-doubles obtained in the rebounding department. Her interior prowess kept New York in the game and kept Minnesota within their sights, as she hauled in 13 points and 15 rebound, the latter tied with 2017 Candace Parker for the second-most in a winner-take-all Finals Game 5.
