Fresh off the 2024 WNBA season, Seattle Storm forward Gabby Williams and Fenerbahçe Opet picked up their second straight FIBA Europe SuperCup women’s championship. After Williams and the Seattle Storm were eliminated from the WNBA Playoffs, she traveled overseas to join Fenerbahçe.

Williams’ addition to the team couldn’t have come at a better time, as the WNBA forward helped the team secure a title. In addition, for her play, Williams was named the FIBA Europe SuperCup Women’s MVP as well. After the win, Williams posted a series of pictures on her Instagram:

“First trophy with @fbkadinbasket it’s gonna be a fun season”

In addition, the team also posted a video to Instagram, giving fans a behind the scenes look at everything that went into the team’s championship win. Along with the video, the team posted a caption that translates to:

“The story of the Beşiktaş match, where we became the FIBA SuperCup Women’s Champion for the second time in a row!”

The win comes on the heels of a big summer for Gabby Williams, which saw her and Team France secure the silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics after a hard-fought game against Team USA.

Gabby Williams takes aim at Cathy Engelbert for incorrect salary numbers

Gabby Williams’ FIBA Europe SuperCup women’s championship win with Fenerbahçe wasn’t the first time the Seattle Storm forward was in the headlines in recent weeks.

While speaking with reporters, Williams spoke about how the WNBA has come up short when it comes to putting athletes in a position to earn more. After comments she made while speaking to media members went viral, she then clarified them in a video on social media.

While on her flight over to Türkiye, Gabby Williams took to TikTok, refuting commissioner Cathy Engelbert’s claims that the top earners in the WNBA are able to make $700,000.

As Gabby Williams explained, while players like Caitlin Clark and A’ja Wilson make a significant amount of money through endorsement deals, players don’t actually make that much from the WNBA.

“Our commissioner talked about us being able to make $700,000. That’s actually not true at all. There’s not one player who makes that. Clark makes $70,000 (£53k) in the WNBA. So I know all these Caitlin Clark fans, whatever, like ‘Caitlin Clark makes $700,000’ – that’s off of endorsements.

“I’m not talking about endorsements, I’m talking about the WNBA. And no. There is not one player in the entire WNBA that makes the money that the commissioner likes to brag about and that was the point of that clip as well.”

With plenty of time before the 2025 WNBA season, Williams will look to make her presence felt overseas in Europe while playing under the FIBA banner.
