Gabby Williams says Michael Jordan sent her a short message after her 30-point performance helped the Golden State Valkyries win the WNBA Finals, and she credits the advice with motivating her going forward. Williams, who is described as WNBA Finals MVP, says Jordan told her “Stay hungry,” and she replied that she is “never been hungrier.”
The reports agree that Golden State’s championship is tied to a late surge in a close Game 7, with Williams playing a major role. They also note that Williams spoke about what she values, including respect from teammates and former players, while varying in how much context they provide about the game itself and which parts of her response they highlight.
Overall, outlets frame the story either primarily around the Jordan text and Williams’ reaction, or around Williams’ broader Finals “takeover” and the league/celebrity interest it drew. Despite differences in emphasis, the central details about the championship win and the content of the message align across coverage.
