"Few WNBA players make it to the Finals. Even fewer compete for the championship three times. Then there's Jewell Loyd - the only players in league history who has gone 10-0 on basketball's biggest stage. On Oct. 10, she helped the Las Vegas Aces clinch the title during Game 4 against the Phoenix Mercury. She says the achievement was extra sweet because it was her first with the Las Vegas team after a decade with the Seattle Storm."
""I think I showed my resilience, my compassion, who I really am. It's not often that your reputation matches your character, and I did both exceptionally well," she says. The guard turned 32 on Oct. 5, the same night her team won Game 2. "I went out to a steakhouse with my family and celebrated a bit, but I mean, getting a championship is probably the best gift I've ever gotten," she says. "I'm going to cherish that one for sure.""
Jewell Loyd finished 10-0 in WNBA Finals games and helped the Las Vegas Aces clinch the title on Oct. 10 in Game 4 against the Phoenix Mercury. The championship was Loyd's first with Las Vegas after a decade with the Seattle Storm. Loyd credits embracing the Aces, learning from teammates, and A'ja Wilson's iconic season for making the achievement feel bigger than basketball. Loyd emphasized resilience, compassion, and alignment of reputation and character. She turned 32 on Oct. 5 and celebrated with family at a steakhouse, calling the championship the best gift. Her game-day rituals include Mott's apple juice, waking at 6:30–7, steak and eggs for breakfast, tea, watching ESPN, and attending shootaround.
