The New York Liberty has taken it all as the 2024 WNBA champions! After an exhilarating season filled with natural talent, determination and teamwork, the Liberty has earned the W, bringing home the coveted title to the Big Apple.
The Liberty’s path to the championship was nothing short of thrilling, boasting a roster of incredible athletes including Jonquel Jones, Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu. Throughout the playoffs, the team showcased their ability to rise to the occasion as they faced formidable opponents such as the Las Vegas Aces and Seattle Storm. Their final game, held at the Barclays Center on Sunday (Oct. 20), was a nail-biter as they went up against the Minnesota Lynx. However, the Liberty held strong, securing a 67-62 victory that left fans roaring with excitement.
As first-time championship winners, not only does this victory mark a monumental achievement for the team, but it also highlights the vibrant spirit of the fans —and their iconic mascot, Ellie the Elephant.
Ellie has become a symbol of joy and enthusiasm for fans, and her weekly looks have added an extra layer of flair to their games. From playful antics to stylish outfits and unique hair-do’s, Ellie’s brought her A-game throughout the season. Most recently, Ellie popped out at the Liberty’s championship parade with a custom seafoam and black Liberty leather jacket and matching pants.
