WNBA: Liberty title, Lynx rise, record-breaking rookies headlined 2024

We had high hopes for the 2024 WNBA season—and it certainly delivered. Full of surprises, dramas and more.

Here’s a look back at Swish Appeal’s coverage of some of the W’s most memorable developments and dynamics:

Give me Liberty!

After 28 years and a few too many Finals heartbreaks, the New York Liberty, one of the WNBA’s original eight franchises, finally won it all.

Following 2023’s Finals’ disappointment, the Liberty were on a mission in 2024, with their eyes fixated on the ultimate prize throughout the season.

Although their playoff run was not without moments that caused memories of past failures to begin to swirl, New York came through when it mattered most, with a Sabrina Ionescu game-winner in Game 3 of the Finals followed by a Finals MVP-sealing performance by Jonquel Jones in Game 5 delivering the long-sought trophy to NYC.
