Aces news: Chelsea Gray's message on Breanna Stewart's greatness

Aces news: Chelsea Gray's message on Breanna Stewart's greatness unfolded after Team USA claimed its fifth consecutive FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup title. The U.S. triumphed over France 97-79 in Berlin, overcoming a 14-point deficit in the second half. Stewart, the tournament MVP for the second time, led the charge with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists, earning the honor as the first American to achieve such a feat in a World Cup final since Lisa Leslie in 1998.

Gray emphasized Stewart's resilience under pressure, her composure, and her ability to elevate her teammates during high-stakes moments. "She’s so skilled, man. I think sometimes you get used to seeing excellence all the time and you get complacent. You see the way she competes, the way she finishes the ball, the way she brings the team together.

Things like this don’t happen by accident," Gray stated via ESPN’s Alexa Philippou. Gray contributed 12 points and five assists in the victory, with Jackie Young adding another 18 points and five assists. The American women's team extended their World Cup-winning streak to 36 consecutive games, securing their 12th overall title.
