This is a super team era in the WNBA. Last year’s finals featured Las Vegas and New York — two squads flush with all-stars and high draft picks. Those are the teams with the big names, and they’re the ones who received the bulk of the media coverage and recognition. And rightfully so. They were the ones contending for titles.

The celebration was relatively muted given how long the Liberty had waited to exact revenge on the Aces for beating New York on its home court in last year’s WNBA Finals.
