โI’m just so proud of this league, these players, it’s amazing.โ said veteran guard Sue Bird. โIn some ways, it’s an honor to be part of the last twoย teams standing and an honor to continue spreading the message we started.โ
Aโja Wilson led the Aces in scoring 18 points six rebounds and four assists. ย โI think we grew tremendously. I think we honestly understand now what it takes to win a championship.โ said Wilson. โI mean, Seattle is a championship team on paper, on court. It’s good to have that measure to know this is what we have to do every possession, every minute.โ
Breanna Stewart was named the 2020 WNBA Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) and set a WNBA Finals record by scoring at least 20 points in the sixth WNBA Finals game.

โTo be able to be the 2020 WNBA champs, it’s a huge gold star next to that.โย said Stewart. โThis season wasn’t easy, and it wasn’t easy in a whole bunch of different areas, with the coronavirus, with the social injustices going on in this country and the day-to-day being stuck here in the bubble. But our team is resilient.โ

โI’m just really proud of our group. They just stayed together through a lot of weird stuff. said Coach Gary Kloppenburg. โJust kind of weird playing a season in a bubble, but it’s been historic for our team and the league.โ
