The New York Liberty defeated the Minnesota Lynx in the WNBA Finals. New York earned the win with stars such as Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones leading the way throughout the season. Rookie Leonie Fiebich also stepped up for the Liberty in 2024. Fiebich reflected on her WNBA Finals run with the Liberty while speaking at the team's championship parade on Thursday, via the WNBA on X, formerly Twitter.

“I've said it before, this organization is great,” Fiebich said. “They really care for the players. I'm so honored to be here, to play for this organization and now be on this stage. It's pretty crazy.”

The Liberty earned their championship parade without question. They had to defeat intimidating opponents in the postseason such as the Las Vegas Aces and the Lynx. In the end, though, New York found a way to get the job done.

Fiebich knew the Liberty were hungry for a championship before playing in a game for the team. She ended up playing a pivotal role for the Liberty amid their championship pursuit.
