Gabby Williams on entering the '26 season chasing a #WNBA championship without knowing what that journey would look like. Now, that the #Valkyries have a chance to close out the #WNBAFinals tomorrow, how does this experience compare with what she envisioned:
"I tried not to envision it. Like, obviously, envision it. You manifest it. You picture yourself in it. But I guess I tried not to have like, not act like I knew what to expect. I asked my teammates who have been there before what it's like. I've asked other old teammates and friends what it's like. Try to take as much information as I can and not pretend like I know everything, and just stay humble and eager to learn in this experience."

#Valkyries Gabby Williams has competed on big stages in her career. Williams on if she's approached the WNBA Finals differently and more particuarly Game 6, given what’s at stake:
"I've been in like high-pressure moments. I've never been in WNBA Finals. So, this is different. I've never played a seven-game series [in Finals]. ... I've always had WNBA Finals on my bucket list of things I want to do before I retire. So, I just want to take advantage of this moment."
Williams is averaging 19.7 pts, 4.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.1 steals in the playoffs.
In the #WNBAFinals, Williams is averaging 16.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.6 steals per game.

#Valkyries Kaila Charles on Golden State’s willingness to share the scoring responsibility being central to its Finals run:
“We’re very selfless. We love to work hard, but I think the bottom line is we all want to win, and we’ll do whatever it takes, and however that looks like.”

What I havent heard anyone say is that Thursday will be the Valkyries' 100th game not including exhibition.
The Valkyries could clinch a championship in their first 100 games as a franchise.

The Golden State Valkyries 5-player lineup of ⬇️
▪️Kiah Stokes
▪️Cecilia Zandalasini
▪️Gabby Williams
▪️Kaila Charles
▪️Veronica Burton
have played just 19 minutes together in the WNBA Finals.
But they've scored 51 total points, and they're a +28.
They're 18-30 FG (60.0%), 4-10 3PT (40.0%), & 11-14 FT (78.6%).
It's by far the most offensively effective lineup for the Valks.
The team is also 3-0 when the lineup sees the floor.
The best people I know
Aside from Gabby Williams’ hosting barbecues at her house for the team, the Valkyries visiting Veronica Burton’s family home in Boston was also mentioned a lot.
Kaila Charles and Tip Hayes read each others’ minds when I asked for theirs.

A few minutes after this, the Valkyries huddled up around Natalie Nakase again and after some murmurs (from where I was standing) they let a collective scream as a team. I believe it was a stress-management exercise.
The best in the game is unrivaled 😝
Kaitlyn Chen is Unrivaled 👑
Chen will join Unrivaled following the mutual contract termination agreement reached with Kate Martin.

Unrivaled announced today that Aliyah Boston will miss the 2027 season due to injury, and also that Kate Martin has mutually terminated her contract with the league.
Due to this, Isabelle Harrison of the Toronto Tempo and Kaitlyn Chen of the Valkyries have joined Unrivaled.

I asked all the Valkyries today what memories come to mind when they reflect and think back to what it took to get to this point as a team.
Lotta mentions of Gabby Williams’ barbecues. Story to follow later today.
