The Connecticut Sun's Stephanie White coached Team Stewart and the Aces' Becky Hammon coached Team Wilson. 3s and 4-pointers," Stewart said, referring to the special spots on the floor for which four points were awarded. Both had good games - Wilson finished with 20 points and five rebounds, Stewart had a game-high nine assists - but they were asked what needs to happen for a post player to take home the MVP trophy again. Since then, the award has gone to a guard or a wing player. Candace Parker, then with the Los Angeles Sparks, was the last true post player to be All-Star MVP, in 2013. With Loyd winning MVP, the drought for true post players winning the honor extends another year. So Plum ended up with $16,000 total to give to Child Haven in Las Vegas. Under Armour offered her $1,000 for every basket made, while Google pledged $1,000 for every assist. Plum also said she was playing for charity, so that meant even more to her than a trophy. I'm super happy for Jewell, and I thought they did a great job this year." But listen, the whole incident with the trophy caused a stir, so I didn't mind it. "Whoever was in charge either got fired or was very scared of getting fired. Loyd's trophy was much bigger and heavier, and got a seal of approval from Plum. The WNBA inadvertently clowned itself last season with the tiny trophy presented to Plum as All-Star Game MVP - which she referred to as "my little teacup." But that was definitely fixed this season.
"What you see on the court is fun, but in the locker room before the game, that's where all the little moments that you take away always happen," Griner said. 42 in the second half of last year's All-Star Game in Chicago, meant the most to her. But overall, the chance to interact with the other players, all of whom wore her No. Griner said she was honored that team captain Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty had chosen her first, and wanted to be sure she contributed to the victory. Anytime you see BG in the paint, I think you should just move out of the way." "The biggest thing is watch your head so you don't get dunked on," Wilson said of facing Griner. Griner was all smiles all weekend, and she reminded everyone how dominant she can be even in an exhibition, finishing with 18 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocked shots. Here are the top takeaways of All-Star weekend, as the league took a fun pause from heated competition that will resume Tuesday. Team Wilson's Kelsey Plum had 30 points and applauded the much larger MVP trophy the league gave out this year than last, when Plum was MVP. Team Stewart's Jewell Loyd, honoring her parents' 40th wedding anniversary, had an All-Star-record 31 points and earned MVP honors. Brittney Griner, who was an honorary All-Star last season while being detained in Russia, dunked twice and took a symbolic handoff from the Aces' A'ja Wilson as Griner's Phoenix Mercury will host the 2024 All-Star Game. Team Stewart beat Team Wilson 143-127 in the home of the defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces.
LAS VEGAS - Before a sold-out crowd at Michelob Ultra Arena that included Dwyane Wade, Anthony Davis, Sue Bird and Sheryl Swoopes, Saturday's WNBA All-Star Game in prime time was a hit.
