Since being drafted into the WNBA by the Seattle Storm, Breanna Stewart has built an impressive resume.
She can now add an MVP award to her list of accomplishments.
The WNBA announced in a press conference in Seattle prior to the Storm’s semifinal playoff game against the Mercury that Stewart was the recipient of the 2018 MVP award.
She received 33 of 39 first-place votes. Coming in second was the Dallas Wings’ Liz Cambage and Elena Delle Donne came in at third.
Stewart, who won the 2016 Rookie of the Year award, averaged nearly 22 points this season.
We have team goals, and I have individual goals for myself. And being MVP was a goal that I had.
–Breanna Stewart
Along with Stewie’s first MVP honor, Seattle received a trio of awards for their great 2018 season. Sue Bird came away with her third Kim Perrot Sportsmanship award and Natasha Howard was named Most Improved Player.
