On July 20th, she stood with a couple of trophies resting in the cradle of her arms, contemplating her moment to remember with a broad smile that could not have been wider. “I’m definitely excited about what I can do with that,” she said. Of course, the broad smile wasn’t just limited to her Skills Challenge, the 3-point contest, or the All-Star Game victories.

It was also due to her bank account soon receiving an influx of cash. As she prepares for the Olympics 3×3 tournament, let’s delve deeper into the 29-year-old’s career earnings.

On July 19th, Allisha Gray became the first player in history to win both the Skills and 3-point competition during the All-Star Friday festivities in Phoenix. The 6-foot guard defeated Sophie Cunningham in the Skills Challenge final and Jonquel Jones in the 3-point contest final. The cherry on top of the cake, Gray held trophies with a smile worth $110,000.

Fortunately, Gray claimed the win in the contest where Aflac committed an illustrative $55,000 each for winners. Seattle Storm star Nneka Ogwumike mentioned that players weren’t aware of it beforehand, leading to potential candidates not participating. And it all resulted in the Atlanta Dream Guard’s favor.

With an illustrious 2020 3×3 Olympic gold medal, Gray nailed it at the Footprint Center. “When I learned it was 55K, whenever money is involved, everything is serious…I really had to lock in,” said Gray.

From college star to WNBA standout

For Allisha Gray, the WNBA cost her the final year of collegiate eligibility. Despite leading South Carolina to a National Championship, Gray opted to enter the 2017 WNBA Draft, where she was selected 4th overall by the Dallas Wings. Things seemed to be going well as she joined the Wings’ starting lineup.

In her rookie season, she shined on the court by averaging 13.1 points per game in 34 matchups. Finally, she earned the accolade she had been hoping for all year, Rookie of the Year. In her second season, Gray continued with the same pace, but the team welcomed All-Star center Liz Cambage.

While Cambage seemed to be a boon for the Dallas Wings, she resulted in Gray’s reduced offensive load. Finally, Gray was traded for draft picks to the Atlanta Dream in January 2023. Since then, she’s been focusing on improving her performance with the Dream. “Just as we stated when we first acquired Allisha, this is a big win for our franchise,” Atlanta GM Dan Padover said.

Gray’s trade turned out to be quite beneficial for her as she has seen an increased role on the team. Though her salary is not the highest-drawn package in the WNBA, it’s more than the average. So for her to win that $110,000 bonus must have felt amazing.
