It’s been a big month for the New York Liberty! No, not just because of Ellie’s birthday, but that was a big reason.
While the Liberty have yet to crack into the top spot in the WNBA standings, they top quite a few power rankings. As much as the teams’ three losses are a little disappointing, their wins are what really count. They have already won games against the No. 1-seed Connecticut Sun, the defending champion Las Vegas Aces and the rising Seattle Storm.
They are proving to be a powerful force in the WNBA, so let’s go over some highlights from the last few weeks.
Ellie gets lit for her birthday
I couldn’t leave Ellie out! Our girl had the birthday bash to end all birthday bashes during a recent Liberty game. Her mascot boos from all over the country came to Barclays to celebrate the Liberty’s mascot, who has been going viral in recent weeks for her personality and social media presence.
The Liberty spared no expense celebrating their girl, getting a tiered cake and having a dance party while Ellie herself had multiple costume changes. Ellie is changing the game for mascots and we are loving it! Go off, girl!
The eight-game winning streak
Okay, back to basketball. The Liberty had yet to lose in June until this week, when they lost against the Phoenix…
