In this episode of Podhalla — the Golden State Valkyries podcast on BSPN — Brian and Garrett Gonzales react to Gabby Williams being named a 2026 WNBA All-Star starter and unpack what the All-Star voting process reveals about how players are perceived around the league. They dig into ESPN's top 50 player rankings, revisit the Valkyries' win over the New York Liberty from last week, and talk Commissioner's Cup — breaking down what it will take for Golden State to beat Las Vegas and New York. They close out previewing the Valkyries' upcoming games.

Last Time Out

Valkyries: Golden State topped New York 76-67 on Sunday at Chase Center, holding the Liberty to their lowest-scoring first half of the season. Kaila Charles tied a season high with 13 points off the bench in a win that extended the Valkyries' streak to three straight.

Dream: Atlanta fell 81-76 to Washington on Thursday, blowing a 41-32 halftime lead as the Mystics closed the game on a run behind Shakira Austin and rookie Alicia Florez. Rhyne Howard led all scorers with 24 points, and Angel Reese posted a 13-point, 13-rebound double-double, but it wasn't enough to snap a four-game skid that stretches back to Atlanta's first meeting with Golden State in June.

Gabby Williams Makes History, Dream Look to Snap Skid

Gabby Williams was named a starter for the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game on Thursday — the first in Valkyries franchise history — capping a career year in which she leads Golden State with 15.8 points per game on a career-best 35.3% shooting from three. She'll carry that momentum into a building where Atlanta is desperate to turn things around: the Dream have dropped four straight, a stretch that includes both of June's losses to the Valkyries. Guard Allisha Gray, who exited that June 26 game with an upper-body injury, has been full strength since and is averaging 18.4 points per game — Atlanta's best chance at snapping the skid runs through her and Howard finding room against Golden State's stingy defense.
