Dream's Allisha Gray Wins 2024 WNBA All-Star Skills Challenge, Wows Fans with Speed

Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray won the 2024 WNBA All-Star Skills Challenge on Friday night.

Gray emerged from a competitive field that included Connecticut Sun guard Marina Mabrey as well as Phoenix Mercury teammates Brittney Griner and Sophie Cunningham. Erica Wheeler was initially set to compete in the event, although she was eventually replaced by Indiana Fever teammate Kelsey Mitchell due to travel issues.

The five players competed for the fastest time in an obstacle course that tested their passing, shooting, and dribbling skills. Gray and Cunningham earned the two available spots in the final round, with the latter narrowly defeating Mabrey's first-round time by 0.2 seconds in order to advance.

However, Cunningham was unable to take down Gray in the second round. The Atlanta All-Star finished with the fastest time in the opening round at 31.2 seconds before wrapping up her final performance at 32.1 seconds.

Fans and players alike were impressed with Gray's speed throughout the competition. She even got a shoutout from Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young.

Despite the Dream's 7-17 record, Gray has been one of the their bright spots by averaging 15.5 points and 4.1 rebounds per game while shooting 42.3 percent from the field and 36.0 percent from three-point range.

The 2017 WNBA Rookie of the Year will be taking some more hardware home after her performance on Friday night.
