Breanna Stewart is cementing her legacy at 2024 Paris Olympics

Team USA forward Breanna Stewart was the star during Thursday's tough 87-74 win over Belgium.

She finished with a game-high 26 points on 8-of-14 shooting while adding seven rebounds, four assists, three blocks and a steal.

Stewart set the tone early, scoring 11 points in the game's first six minutes. She got whatever she wanted on the court, scoring close to the basket, from midrange and knocking down a transition three.

Stewart has been hot at the start of group play. In Monday's 102-76 win over Japan, she had 22 points on 11-of-15 shooting.

Per ESPN's Alexa Philippou, Stewart became the first Team USA women's basketball player to have consecutive 20-point games to start the Olympics since Teresa Edwards (1988). She was later joined by teammate A'ja Wilson, who finished Thursday's win with 23 points after scoring 24 points in the opener.

The two-time WNBA MVP is seeking her third gold medal. Stewart has improved in each tournament, going from a bench player in 2016 — averaging 8.1 points on 10.9 minutes per game — to a leading starter in 2021 while averaging 15 points and 10 rebounds in six games.

During her illustrious basketball career, Stewart also has four NCAA championships from her time at UConn, three Associated Press Player of the Year awards and two WNBA championships.

Stewart, 29, is already on the short list of all-time women's basketball greats, and the first two games of the 2024 Summer Olympics have fortified her legacy.

With potentially four games remaining in Paris, Stewart is just getting started.
