The 'WNBA Finals MVPs' quiz

The Golden State Valkyries have only been a WNBA franchise for two seasons. Now, after their Game 7 victory over the Atlanta Dream, they’re WNBA champions. 

Behind 30 points (with 28 coming in the second half) from Finals MVP Gabby Williams, the Valkyries took down the Dream 68-63 in the winner-take-all clash to become the second franchise to win their first championship in the last week.

After averaging 14.4 points and 3.3 rebounds-per-game in the regular season, Williams’ scoring exploded in the WNBA Playoffs, averaging 21.0 PPG across the postseason and 19.5 PPG in the Finals. 

“All it took was good people, that’s it,” Williams said after the victory.

“All we heard last year was ‘We don’t have stars. We don’t have talent.’ We got good people. We got winners.”

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the players to win WNBA Finals MVP honors can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
