This past Sunday, the New York Liberty defeated the Minnesota Lynx to win the 2024 WNBA Championship! But the team's owners also made history as the first Asian Americans to own a title-winning WNBA team.
“When we bought the team four years ago, they were playing at Westchester County Center to a crowd of 2,000,” Clara Wu Tsai said during Sunday’s trophy presentation. “And the first thing we wanted to do was bring the team to Barclays Center so that they could have a bigger stage. And then we wanted to give them facilities and performance and nutrition and everything that they deserved because they’re such elite professional athletes.”
