The 2024 WNBA season is drawing to a close with an epic Game 5 showdown between the New York Liberty and the Minnesota Lynx. This fiercely contested series has seen both teams battling with everything they have, with stars like Sabrina Ionescu and Napheesa Collier shining brightly.
As another championship is on the line, interest in WNBA history resurfaces. Currently, three teams are tied for the most titles, each with four championships: the Lynx, Seattle Storm, and Houston Comets.
If the Lynx clinch the 2024 title, they will become the most decorated team in WNBA history. Meanwhile, the Liberty have a chance to make history of their own. A victory would secure their first title in franchise history.
Despite reaching the finals on five occasions, the New York Liberty have yet to win a WNBA championship. However, they finished the regular season with their best record, and they could finally taste glory tonight.

One player particularly motivated to achieve this is Breanna Stewart. “It’s been 50 years since a men’s or women’s team brought a championship back here (to New York), so to end that drought would mean everything,” the Syracuse native told the WNBA website.
