There is a lot going on in the WNBA right now, while the regular season had its own ups and downs. After the playoffs, the game was completely under fire. With the pandemonium in DPOY and MVP, as well as the semi-final thrillers on the line, The WNBA 2023 season has finally reached the championship round. Despite several variables throughout the season, the defending champions, the Las Vegas Aces, and the No. 2 seed, the New York Liberty, dominated the whole season. A’ja Wilson carries her aces with the upper hand, while Breanna Stewart is leading the Liberty in the quest to satisfy the thirst that has been there since the beginning.
This alluring phase of the WNBA has given rise to talks of the expansion of the franchise by the Golden State Warriors. Steph Curry gave an interview that added fumes to the underlying suspicions.
Steph Curry on the growth of the WNBA
As stated before, WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert said that the league will be expanded by two clubs in 2025. The Golden State Warriors are now in the beginning stages of work as they facilitate the investment to develop the new franchise in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Bay Area was chosen mainly because of its supporters and prominence. Steph Curry, this year’s WNBA prime supporter, is ecstatic about the news.
The Golden State Warrior discusses the WNBA’s rise in light of the ravenous delivery of games by the clubs, particularly the Finalists.
He stated, “With finals in a couple of days, there’s no better time for growing women’s basketball and women’s sports in general.”
The video of Steph’s interview has been shared on the official Twitter account of the NBCS Warriors, with the description “Steph is excited to have the WNBA in the Bay.”
The statement is not exaggerated in any way.
The two super teams of the WNBA
If we argue that the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty’s performances have raised the WNBA’s standards, these two teams clinched a spot in the finals. It will be the most intriguing audience for the game in its 27-year history. The Aces are vying for their second straight title, and Liberty, as the founding organization, is determined to fill the long-standing title hole that has been within.
In the thick of the Finals mayhem, Curry’s team’s idea of growth is a tribute to the kind of play we saw this year.
