WNBA All-Star 2024: Dream's Allisha Gray wins both the Skills Challenge and 3-Point Contest

Atlanta Dream All-Star Allisha Gray had a dream performance during the opening night of WNBA All-Star weekend on Friday night. She became the first player to win both the Skills Challenge and 3-Point Contest.

Gray won the All-Star Skills Challenge by completing the course in 32.1 seconds in the final round. That bested the Phoenix Mercury’s Sophie Cunningham (34.5), who had homecourt advantage at Footprint Center.

....

By winning both contests, Gray takes home $115,150, which is 62% of her 2024 WNBA salary of $185,000. Winners of each event received $2,575 from the league, but also $55,000 from Aflac in a sponsorship deal.

"Now that I think about it, had a good nap, maybe I'll go on a little golfing spree, shopping spree," Gray said to ESPN's Holly Rowe, after saying earlier that she might use the $55,000 to start a business.
