The Minnesota Lynx are ready for a dialogue change in the WNBA.
“You got to talk about us now, you’ve got no choice,” Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve said after her team beat the New York Liberty 94-89 to win the Commissioner’s Cup Trophy. “We don’t really care what you think, except for right now, when we get to say to you, ‘You’ve got to talk about us.’
“We just beat a superteam. You know how hard that is to do? Because you guys love your superteams. That’s all you want to talk about. But we just beat a superteam. Let’s talk about it.”
Last season, the WNBA narrative was dominated by discussion of so-called superteams Las Vegas and New York. They met for the 2023 Commissioner’s Cup, won by the Liberty, and then in the WNBA Finals, won by the Aces.
