Chelsea Gray
A lot of people doubted Chelsea Gray when she first entered the WNBA. She was coming off a knee injury and she struggled to make an immediate impact. But it turned out that they couldn’t have been more wrong—Gray came into her own after two seasons as a pro and has since been a perennial All-Star.
She decided to dedicate herself to activism in her free time and has been an outspoken figure in the LGBTQ+ movement while also participating in the Amateur Athletic Union.
