Why would anyone miss the WNBA?

Honesty here. There were bad calls both ways for 5 games. This series is no different from any other in any other sport. This happens because it's an unavoidable part of sports. To overturn a call there has to be indisputable evidence. Sorry but imo there was none because the back angle shows the defender was not set. Usually the refs in college men and women and the nba will way more times than not call a block/charge call, whereas other things they tend to let go. This was a great game by two great teams. Liberty fans can say this series should not have gone to a game 5 in the first place if the officiating is going to be debated. If it were me and my team I honestly would be more concerned with why we only scored 62 points in an OVERTIME game. That would be more alarming to me than any one bang bang call at the end. One team always loses and one team always wins. Unfortunately someone had to lose. I prefer to celebrate all the great stories that came out of the WNBA this season that seems to be building the league into the right upward direction. Congrats to the Lynx and the Liberty for a great finals series 🎉
@@Tuck7326stole the game?-McBride had a wife open three pointer that could have won them the game. Then the had 5 minutes of overtime that they blew. So stop. Lynx also blew a 15 point lead. Liberty’s best player were garbage last night. So no, the Lynx lost because of themselves.
@@yungtwiz Getting trucked? She caught the inbounds pass, ran over a stationary defender and was gifted free throws. The refs could have called an offensive foul, a travel, or they could have made a no call, but to call that a blocking foul and then claim the defender wasn't in a legal guarding position was a disgrace.
Yes! Yet, no one from the NBA, not one coach, no one, talked about The Fever and Caitlin Clark ROBBED from their victory over The Sun in the first playoff series. The Fever and Caitlin could have afterwards even gone all the way and maybe even won the whole thing. But we all know this filthy league was having none of that, they would not have Caitlin Clark become the BIGGEST name in women's history...EVER, just because she is White, and secondary straight.
@@Don-md6wn yea and in overtime Stewart would get called for a an offensive foul when it was clearly a blocking foul against the lynx pipe down man. Refs made questionable calls all night against both teams that door swings both ways. Lynx got outplayed in overtime. Liberty 🗽 are the champions deal with it and cope.
I'm a Sabrina guy but I'm also an Oregon guy. Sabally isn't as far from her sister as some WNBA fans might assume and you saw it when it mattered the most.

Great game to end a great series between the two best teams in the league. Sabrina and Stewie had an off night, but made the plays they NEEDED to make, had plenty of help from the whole team, and at the end of the game they simply wanted it more. Congrats to the Liberty
What a great season! I can't wait for it to start again next year! Congrats to all the players, coaches, personnel, and staff that made such an amazing show of talent and hard work on the basketball court!
This ladys in espn panel saying should other team follow the trend of new york building superteam? Come on now they are not superteam. They are so called superteam and first your two star are chokers is that a superstar i rather follow the culture of minnesota. Who play the hard way and rightway liberty also play the hardway but telling new york is with more talent that was edge them to win this game its crazy. I have the ynx are more talented team this all season and their chemistry is on high level. Wnba dont just want the small market to shock the world . Napheesa collier should be the finals mvp and they were robbed.
I didn’t watch the game because I knew it would wreck my nerves. But my Dad (who’s 98) was watching and I could hear him yelling at the TV! I’m a NY sports teams fan (Yankees, Giants😢, and Knicks). I don’t know what it is about NY teams but they seem to make us fans very nervous- they really keep us in the edge of our seats- we fans have to really “ride it out” to get to that win! Congratulations NY Liberty- a hard-fought victory!!!
I was pulling for the Liberty, but now that they have won, I feel bad for the Lynx. It was a David vs Goliath type of match up. The Lynx played so well. Had Minnesota had the home court advantage, I'm sure it would have gone the other way. Such a great series. I hope the NBA can match what I have seen lately. Great execution and defense.
Great execution? Ionescu shot 1 for 20, Stewart was something like 4 for 15 and was gifted 2 free throws late on what should have been an offensive foul, seconds after she had just choked 2 free throws to tie the game. That game was absolutely brutal. I thought the WNBA quality of play had advanced more than that. Stewart just runs around smashing into people. She's supposed to be one of the stars of the league?
Congratulations to the New York Liberty. The finals was just too good. Great game game by Collier and McBride. For the Winners Jones played extremely well. Not forgetting the good defense by Stewart. well played Lonescu.
Minnesota benefited from dodgy calls in Game 4, which the Liberty protested, just as much in vain. If not, this would have been over in four games, not five. Liberty are champs. It's fine to play the refs during the season, everybody does it--everybody benefits from calls that could go either way. They were crowding in on her too much, too anxious to preserve their leads. It was a fair call, that can be questioned, sure--but where does that get you? Nobody would ever win, because there's calls like that all the time. You want all the wins to be decided by committee? When the season's done, you congratulate the team that beat you, not cry about it to the refs. The better team won. Not better by much, that's for sure.

@@MS-mq8xj I think both teams were overly tense, very stiff, and their star players way too self-conscious. There had never been this much attention paid to a WNBA final before, and the last game was in the media capital of the world. No pressure, right? It was the less-famous players, particularly on the Liberty, who stepped up, and got the job done. Yes, it was a shitty game, but both teams had a magnificent season, and hey, most Superbowls suck. Probably for the same reason only so much worse.
I am absolutely delighted to see the Liberty win this championship! Kudos to the Lynx also. Game 5 overtime? Both teams were amazing. I'm so happy for the WNBA. Can't wait for next season!
If NY would had flat out won I’d be happy for them. But I can’t. The Lynx were absolutely robbed of an amazing season ending. They out played NY. They deserved to win. And the officials made sure that didn’t happen every opportunity they got to dictate the outcome. Travesty. Ashame for the league!! Collier should be the finals mvp best player in this post season!
Shout out to NYC bringing a championship to the city but that foul call on the Lynx at the end of regulation was bs and Breanna Stewart definitely travelled before she took the shot the fix was definitely in‼️
They should be thanking the officiating crew for winning the championship game The Lynz was the better team these people that officiating these games turn off people from watching sports they should be neutral

@@mongoslade277but the Lynx lost a 15 point lead on their own. Also McBride had a wide open shot that she missed that could have won them the game.

They are so called superteam and first your two star are chokers is that a superstar i rather follow the culture of minnesota. Who play the hard way and rightway liberty also play the hardway but telling new york is with more talent that was edge them to win this game its crazy. I have the ynx are more talented team this all season and their chemistry is on high level. Wnba dont just want the small market to shock the world . Napheesa collier should be the finals mvp and they were robbed.
At long last after 28 years NYC has it's first ever WNBA Championship Congratulations NY Liberty super proud of you ladies. 🗽🏀🏆👏
Man that was stressful...happy for the Liberty
I didn’t watch the game because I knew it would wreck my nerves. But my Dad (who’s 98) was watching and I could hear him yelling at the TV!
I’m a NY sports teams fan (Yankees, Giants😢, and Knicks). I don’t know what it is about NY teams but they seem to make us fans very nervous- they really keep us in the edge of our seats- we fans have to really “ride it out” to get to that win!
Congratulations NY Liberty- a hard-fought victory!!!
NEEDED THE REFS 😂😂😂😂 TRUE LOSERS ARE LIBERTY
Hell yeaa long overdue 🗽 it's about damn time after being 0-5 in finals
Congratulations New York Liberty
Any reason you excluded the contested non-foul that cost Minnesota the lead?
I like this style of basketball. So many creative passes and a lot of movement. NBA turned into iso ball,stat padding, and barely any defense.

@@MadamPrez328one TIM-BERRRRRRRR.
Great to see how packed the Garden was for this. WNBA had great storylines this season, they deserved every second of mention they got.
I was pulling for the Liberty, but now that they have won, I feel bad for the Lynx. It was a David vs Goliath type of match up. The Lynx played so well. Had Minnesota had the home court advantage, I'm sure it would have gone the other way. Such a great series. I hope the NBA can match what I have seen lately. Great execution and defense.
You misspelled shitty shooting... oh, and the refs won, not the liberty.
The Lynx have won 4 championships and New York had 0 until this game.
Great execution? Ionescu shot 1 for 20, Stewart was something like 4 for 15 and was gifted 2 free throws late on what should have been an offensive foul, seconds after she had just choked 2 free throws to tie the game. That game was absolutely brutal. I thought the WNBA quality of play had advanced more than that. Stewart just runs around smashing into people. She's supposed to be one of the stars of the league?
@@drmattbarnes1371 Did the refs get a trophy?
@@Don-md6wn I always thought execution was running plays. Now that you have told me execution is shooting, why don't you shut up?
Congratulations to the New York Liberty. The finals was just too good. Great game game by Collier and McBride. For the Winners Jones played extremely well. Not forgetting the good defense by Stewart. well played Lonescu.
The reffing was horrible this game
Unwatchable
The officiating was horrible all year.
Truly a game of champions! Fever fan here, but have great admiration for the way these ladies battled to the end! Congratulations, New York LIberty!
After that horrible officiating final, I'm done watching this league.
Great finals!! Congratulations New York Libertty’s🏀🏀🌹🌹
Congratulations to the Lynx team if the WNBA doesn't rig the game! GOD bless you Collier your my MVP! Much love from the Philippines! 💪❤️🙏🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Wnba didn't rigg shi Minnesota just didn't capitalize
Minnesota benefited from dodgy calls in Game 4, which the Liberty protested, just as much in vain. If not, this would have been over in four games, not five. Liberty are champs. It's fine to play the refs during the season, everybody does it--everybody benefits from calls that could go either way. They were crowding in on her too much, too anxious to preserve their leads. It was a fair call, that can be questioned, sure--but where does that get you? Nobody would ever win, because there's calls like that all the time. You want all the wins to be decided by committee?
When the season's done, you congratulate the team that beat you, not cry about it to the refs. The better team won. Not better by much, that's for sure.
@@christopherlyons5900 FINALLLLYYYY SOMEONE IS SAYING IT 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
For the Lynx to even be as close as they were to winning with Ionescu being 1 of 19?!?! Im sorry but the refs didnt decide that game. For one of the best shooters in the league and superstars of that team to have made ONE BUCKET??? The lynx shouldve OBLITERATED the Liberty. It shouldnt have come down to "the refs". I dont wanna hear this ref cop out. (Not to mention the refs favored the Lynx in other games of this series and made questionable calls in FAVOR of the Lynx)
@@MS-mq8xj I think both teams were overly tense, very stiff, and their star players way too self-conscious. There had never been this much attention paid to a WNBA final before, and the last game was in the media capital of the world. No pressure, right?
It was the less-famous players, particularly on the Liberty, who stepped up, and got the job done. Yes, it was a shitty game, but both teams had a magnificent season, and hey, most Superbowls suck. Probably for the same reason only so much worse.
We’ll always remember this game as the “Sabrina Game”! 1/19!
Lady Liberty smiling all night! What a game!
I am absolutely delighted to see the Liberty win this championship! Kudos to the Lynx also. Game 5 overtime? Both teams were amazing. I'm so happy for the WNBA. Can't wait for next season!
Minnesota got cheated, it wasn’t supposed to be an overtime
Great game for both teams ❤
I was rooting for the Lynx but not disappointed. This team had a great year. Congrats to the Liberty.
Who says that a professional NY team can't win a championship
WAY TO GO LIBERTY 🗽 👏
Caitlin Clark was the Finals MVP if not for the racism against her. caitlin out played every one
They cant without the ref
If NY would had flat out won I’d be happy for them. But I can’t. The Lynx were absolutely robbed of an amazing season ending. They out played NY. They deserved to win. And the officials made sure that didn’t happen every opportunity they got to dictate the outcome. Travesty. Ashame for the league!! Collier should be the finals mvp best player in this post season!
Congrets from Germany!!!
Shout out to NYC bringing a championship to the city but that foul call on the Lynx at the end of regulation was bs and Breanna Stewart definitely travelled before she took the shot the fix was definitely in‼️
no she did not , that is not a travel .
@@stevecourtois3741Sure looked like a travel on every replay I watched. And I was rooting for the Liberty.
@stevecourtois3741 You must be new to basketball. Stewie traveled Twice. They would even call that in the NBA
Collier travelled possesion earlier and there were no call
@@hrvojedundovic5293 didn’t see that
Sad the season is over but it was an incredible season and super happy for the Liberty 🔥🔥🔥
Fouls 25-8 in favor of the Liberty
Dame what a great great great game both teams balled out congrats to NY Liberty 🏀🏆
lynx was robbed completely
Its Mn what do you expect
Mission Accomplished! That’s It! For the 1st Time in Franchise History, The New York Liberty are WNBA Champions! Party on New York City in 2024! 🗽
Not showing the foul call at the end of 4Q? Supposed to be full game "highlights".
Amazing grit from the Liberty. Shots weren’t falling ALL game yet they kept pushing and eventually came through
2024 wnba champions 🗽
Much need help from the refs to dictate the tempo
Congrats NEW YOURK LIBERTY 2024 WNBA CHAMPION 🏆🖤
knicks are next fr
@@BlahblAHbLaH-1_liberty is much better than the Knicks 🤑🤑🤑
They should be thanking the officiating crew for winning the championship game The Lynz was the better team these people that officiating these games turn off people from watching sports they should be neutral
@@ErrolAGeorgethey don’t wanna hear it bro because it’s the truth the refs helped them
These finals were so competitive. The teams needed everybody to step up at points. Fantastic.
Lynx got robbed but I genuinely enjoyed this more than the nba finals this yr
2024 WNBA Campions... New York Liberty... 🗽🏆💍
Lynx deserved that ThroPhee!!
I'm so happy for NY 🗽 finally capturing their first after coming from a horrible record slump 0-5 in the finals but all we need is one baby 🏆 finally got it 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I knew it and I called it! NYL wins in 5! This season delivered indeed! Well done! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I called it too. There is no way the Liberty lose that game because of the refs in game 5 at home!
@@karlk1004
Why can't you just congratulate the NYL on the win. Refs called it fair and square!
@@p.merle7-11Sorry but no they didn't. Shame on those referees
@@mongoslade277but the Lynx lost a 15 point lead on their own. Also McBride had a wide open shot that she missed that could have won them the game. Courtney Williams ran out of gas so did Sabrina and Stewie. The difference was Fiebich, JJ, and Sabally. The most important thing that happened that no one is talking about is Liberty coach uno card-wild!!! No one was prepared for her all big lineup!!!Lynx couldn’t defend it. Everyone that was in for Liberty was 6’1 or taller. This was the true turning point of the game!
@@YouAREyoubeYou Very well said. You're right
This was exactly what I needed, thanks!
Spike Lee is finally happy lol
Congratulations to the wnba on a successful season and congratulations to New York on your first title.
5:30 Kayla McBride cross the soul out of the Nyara Sabally
First year actually watching the wnba ❤love it
