Odyssey Sims' five-year wait is finally over. The Indiana Fever guard, a teammate of Caitlin Clark, was crowned champion in the Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball league after years of frustratingly close calls.

The 33-year-old topped the leaderboards with 6,764 points, comfortably outscoring second-place Aneesah Morrow by 1,420 points.

"I'm just happy... like, I finally did it. This means more to me than anything else right now." Sims said with the gold medal and "GOAT" necklace hanging around her neck.

Sims previously finished in sixth place in 2022, third place in 2023, and runner-up in the past two seasons. This victory is even sweeter because the league increased the difficulty in this year's edition by requiring players to have a different task each week, with a total of 41 switching teams by the end.

"You have to get the hang of it... the biggest thing is just being able to adjust to every situation. I've gotten the hang of it because this is year five for me." The Fever star addressed the change in the format starting this season.

Caitlin Clark and co. would definitely be sending congratulatory messages after the 33-year-old's long-awaited triumph. The Indiana Fever can also use some assistance from the veteran who they acquired last August, as a crucial year for them is about to kick off soon.
