Alanna Smith Celebrates Unrivaled Championship With Classic Aussie Shoey Tradition [VIDEO]

Breanna Stewart, Arike Ogunbowale, and Allisha Gray came out victorious as the Unrivalled season 2 wraps up in the first week of March. Breanna Stewart boldly mentioned that she prides herself on being a winner, as she completes her trophy collection, adding the Unrivaled title to her resume. While it could be a ‘tradition’ for the UConn star, Alanna Smith had to follow her Aussie tradition to celebrate her victory.

The player captured her second pro-level championship after winning the 2024 Commissioner’s Cup with the Lynx side, and this time she did the ‘classic showy’ celebration.

Alanna Smith’s Aussie Celebrations

Breanna Stewart and Alysha Gray were catalysts in the Mist BC’s recent championship. But the Australian forward was also a key player, providing the side depth in the lineup and potent support to Stewart.

As the team lifted its first championship, the player followed her Aussie tradition of celebrations. When challenged, the player first emptied the entire can in her game-worn shoe and then drank it to celebrate.

Smith had 11 points and six rebounds in almost 11 minutes as the Mist, while in the semifinal win over the Breeze BC, the Lynx star scored 11 points, going 3-for-3 from beyond the arc, as well as six rebounds, five assists, and two steals, impacting the game on both ends of the floor.

The player’s celebration is certainly a ‘memory’ for many fans, and she is looking to create more history in the WNBA, possibly with another franchise in the 2026 season.

Alanna Smith Remains Top Free Agent In WNBA

The WNBA free agency has been one of the deepest and most talented for the ages. With nearly 80% of the league up for grabs, the franchises are already looking at players who could hand them financial flexibility and yet impact the games with their plays.

The 29-year-old forward is a perfect example of such conditions, who is one of the best shot blockers in the game and a versatile forward who can space the floor on offence. Analysts see her as a perfect fit for teams like Atlanta, Indiana, Golden State, or Dallas—especially after proving once again that she could be a key player on a winning team.

Fever’s Kelsey Mitchell mentioned the uncertainty of free agency, and Smith’s situation is similar for the 2026 season, with Lynx also looking to continue with the star, but other interesting offers would tempt her to leave the franchise.
