The Liberty won the WNBA title in epic fashion last season. In a back-and-forth five-game series against the Minnesota Lynx, Jonquel Jones was the hero down the stretch to lead this franchise to its first-ever championship. Despite getting over this massive hump, New York seeems as motivated as ever in 2025. And so do the Lynx, as the only other undefeated team in the league.

There are plenty of threats to a rematch of last season's finals. The Atlanta Dream and Phoenix Mercury are off to positive starts, the Las Vegas Aces are always a threat and vying for their third championship in four years, and the Indiana Fever are still an elephant in the room. That being said, Minnesota and New York are the favorites to meet once again, and it's a bummer that they have to wait until July 30 to play each other for the first time.

Overall, this Liberty looks even more dangerous than the title squad on both ends. Trading for Natasha Cloud has been a genius move to this point, and the group's current level is sustainable. This group is built to win now and has several key contributors who are not leaving their prime anytime soon. It's an exciting time to be a fan of this franchise.
