There were only 13 points separating Stewart from second-place finisher Alyssa Thomas of Connecticut and last year’s MVP, A’ja Wilson of Las Vegas.
NEW YORK — Breanna Stewart was honored to win one of the closest MVP races in WNBA history.
“It’s been a roller-coaster of a journey and I wouldn’t wish it any other way,” Stewart said. “To show that resiliency works. No matter the highs and lows, keep pushing forward.” With Stewart and Thomas separated by seven points, this marks the second-smallest margin between the first- and second-place finishers in the history of the award. The closest finish was a two-point difference between Sheryl Swoopes and Lauren Jackson in 2005.
