Breanna Stewart Clinches 2023 WNBA MVP Award in Tight Race
Historic TIE: Stewart, Thomas, and Wilson in Three-Way Battle
Voting Margin Reveals Close Contest
In a historic moment for the WNBA, Seattle Storm star Breanna Stewart has emerged victorious as the 2023 Most Valuable Player (MVP). Despite not securing the most first-place votes, Stewart's exceptional performance throughout the season earned her the coveted award.
The voting margin was incredibly tight, with three players vying for the top spot. New York Liberty's Breanna Stewart finished with 330 points, edging out Las Vegas Aces players Alyssa Thomas (328 points) and Aja Wilson (317 points).
The 13-point difference separating Stewart from Wilson, who placed third, highlights the intense competition within the MVP race this year. Stewart's consistent dominance and leadership, particularly during the playoffs, ultimately swayed the vote in her favor.
This achievement cements Stewart's status as one of the greatest players in WNBA history. She has now won two MVP awards, along with a WNBA championship in 2020. Her contributions to the game, both on and off the court, continue to inspire and empower both players and fans alike.
As the WNBA continues to grow in popularity and recognition, Stewart's success serves as a testament to the exceptional talent and determination of the league's players. Her MVP award is a well-deserved honor for a player who has dedicated her career to the pursuit of excellence.
