WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert, addressing media …

Gabby Williams, a key player in the Golden State Valkyries, expressed indifference towards the increased media attention she has received ahead of the WNBA Finals against the Atlanta Dream. Despite the Valkyries being in top form, with Williams averaging 22.7 points per game in the postseason, she stated in a recent interview that she has never expected or cared about the media's respect for her.

Williams emphasized that the media's praise does not affect her performance or mindset. Instead, she expressed that the recognition from veteran players, such as Sue Bird, has touched her more deeply. The Golden State Valkyries are making their debut in the WNBA Finals, aiming to prevent the Atlanta Dream's record of three consecutive losses from continuing in the championship.
