Breanna Stewart and A'ja Wilson have worked so well together during the Olympics that hoops fans have given them a new nickname: Stew'ja.

While Stew'ja (Stewie + A'ja) does not typically play together during the regular season — save the WNBA All-Star Game — they have a history of winning by each other's side that dates back to over a decade ago, where they won gold at the U19 World Cup.

Their chemistry oozed onto the Olympic stage and morphed into an undeniable dominance that was noticeable long before this year's Paris Olympics. As the nickname caught on with fans, Breanna Stewart was recently asked what she thinks about it. Here's what she said:

"It's a vibe. Honestly, I saw [it] somewhere. It's like — expect nothing less. So, that's cool, and we're just gonna keep it going."

That's a great answer. Fans don't appear to be letting go of the name anytime soon—that is, until the WNBA season resumes.
