Warriors past and present laud Valkyries' championship, Gabby Williams' ‘Steph-esque' performance
Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr called the Valkyries' title a "great reminder" of the fun of a championship run, and Hall of Famer Chris Mullin lauded Gabby Williams' incredible Game 7 play.
Golden State Warriors players and staff expressed their admiration for the Valkyries' championship victory, with Chris Mullin, a Hall of Famer, comparing it to Steph Curry's game. The 63-year-old Mullin was particularly impressed by Gabby Williams' performance, which set a playoff record with 28 points in the second half. The team's transformation, dubbed the "Ballhalla Effect," has been celebrated by previous and current Warriors players, including Chris Paul, Festus Ezeli, Will Richard, and Georges Niang.
The Warriors' owner Joe Lacob, connected to Stanford, was confident in the decision to bring a WNBA franchise to the Bay Area.
