New York Liberty win first WNBA championship, more could be on the horizon

Breanna Stewart joined the New York Liberty two years ago with one goal in mind: to bring the long-suffering franchise it’s first championship.

"The wait was so, so, so worth it," Breanna Stewart said. "We talked about it two years ago when it was free agency, and we wanted to come together. You look back and me, JJ, (Courtney Vandersloot), we all came together to win a championship. Last year we lost in the Finals. But look at us, now we’re here."

In response, NYC Mayor Eric Adams announced the city would hold a ticker-tape parade to celebrate the champions. The parade will begin at 10 a.m. on Thursday. Afterward, the city will host a ceremony at City Hall.

"From the start of the season to the very last game, the New York Liberty were focused on one singular objective: winning. Tonight, they delivered a historic win — making our great city proud by becoming champions, the first in the franchise’s history," Adams said.
