PHOENIX — Allisha Gray’s smile could not have been wider. In the cradle of each arm rested a trophy. Her bank account is about to receive a serious influx of cash. The deposits totaling $115,150 are 62% of her $185,000 base salary.
“I’m definitely excited about what I can do with that,” Gray said.
Gray became the first All-Star participant to double up and win both the skills and 3-point competitions at Footprint Center in Phoenix on Friday night. The 6-foot Atlanta Dream guard defeated hometown Mercury star Sophie Cunningham in the finals of the skills competition and New York Liberty center Jonquel Jones by one point in the shooting competition.
