Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray took home a payday nearly equivalent to her annual salary after making WNBA history Friday night by becoming the first player to win the skills challenge and the 3-point contest in the same year.
For her wins, Gray won $5,150 from the WNBA and $110,000 from Aflac, the insurance company that announced Thursday it would supplement the league’s prize money with $55,000 for each event’s winner. Gray’s yearly salary is $185,000.
