The 2024 WNBA season, the biggest year in the history of the league, came to an end on Sunday night, with the New York Liberty beating the Minnesota Lynx in Game 5 of The Finals.
New York topped Minnesota, 67-62, in overtime of Game 5 at Barclays Center. The finish was controversial, with Liberty forward Breanna Stewart sending the game into overtime with two free throws following a questionable "foul" call. Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve ripped the officiating postgame, saying that the championship was "stolen" from her team. But that's all in the past and the Liberty are champions for the first time in franchise history.
Nike is putting out special WNBA championship merchandise for the Liberty, with one shirt in particular going viral.
Nike is releasing a special Statue of Liberty-themed championship shirt - one of the best championship shirts we've seen.
"Nike's awesome NY Liberty Champ Shirt. More clever than the usual garbage," sports business reporter Darren Rovell shared on social media.
