Impressive job by Nike in recognizing the achievement.
Just last week, Nike showcased Sabrina Ionescu’s game-winning shot from Game 3 of the series on a billboard in Manhattan. The company has been actively celebrating accomplishments throughout this thrilling WNBA postseason.
The Liberty’s victory came after a late comeback aided by Breanna Stewart, who tied the game at 60-60 with a pair of free throws in the final five seconds of the fourth quarter. The controversial call that led to her free throws sparked disagreement among many.
New York dominated the overtime period and ultimately secured their first WNBA championship after five previous unsuccessful trips to the finals.
Nike deemed this triumph worthy of celebration.
