1999 WNBA Finals Game 2 - Liberty at Comets 

I was 19 when the WNBA debuted. I stayed glued to the TV. I'd love to see the very first 3 Seasons again. Loved seeing many of the now Hall of Famers. Kisha Ford (from N.Y. Liberty) is a Police Officer now. RIP Kim Perrot (wow almost 18 years, you left us)

The only announcer to call a WNBA and an NBA Championship. Mike Breen.

1999 was such an epic women's sports year. This series, the USWNT winning the World Cup, Serena winning her first GS at the US Open - just a dream summer.

I have never seen anything like Cooper she had it all

I’m 36. I followed the Comets since a kid. Swoopes was always my favorite player. They need to bring the franchise back

There are five Naismith Hall of Famers involved in this game: Tina Thompson, Sheryl Swoopes, Cynthia Cooper (the original Big Three!), Comets head coach Van Chancellor, and Teresa Weatherspoon, who hit the buzzer-beater. A sixth Hall of Famer, Rebecca Lobo, was a member of the Liberty but missed the 1999 season after tearing her ACL in the first game of the season.

I remembered this game like it was yesterday

It’s the 20th anniversary of this game

Man what a dream team the Comets were. I found this while randomly thinking about the Comets and how ridiculous it is they’re no longer part of the league. I followed the WNBA from 2002-2008, so it’s cool to see a glimpse of the league before I was a fan. Thanks for the upload!

Kim Perrot #9 Houston Comets is never forgotten i love this Game😘🏀💪💯

This just might have been the greatest game the WNBA will ever see, and couldn't have had a more dramatic ending. Too bad nothing really came of it for the Liberty, and only merely delayed the inevitable when the Comets bounced back, and regrouped to win the deciding Game #3. But it was still an epic series, and when the WNBA was seemingly far more relevant, and an interesting novelty worth checking out, unlike now.

Thanks for posting . As a diehard Liberty fan THIS was THE game .

I've always wondered how the series would have looked for the Liberty if Rebecca Lobo was at 100%.

The Summer of My Freshmen Year of HS. Coach used to take us across the water to the Liberty Games. We where one of the teams of younger players who had an opportunity to be back in the hallways near the locker rooms. On Court at MSG, getting the game balls from the players before the game. I remember meeting Nikki McCray (RIP) she was so funny and nice to us. Stopping to take mad pics with us before the game. Kym Hampton legit my idol! She was a beast when healthy! At that time, Kym was 36 yo, Still #9 in NCAA Rebound History Books!!!! Meaning she graduated 15 years prior. Ann Myers was definitely hating on Kym this ENTIRE Broadcast!!!!! MAD RESPECT to my fellow #RAMily Fordham Alumni Mike Breen for giving Kym her Props!!! #GoRams Wish Kym could have gotten that Double 10pts 10 boards........ Back to Ann Myers' hateration of Kym.... off Kym's turnover in the second half, Ann says, Kym's indecision to make a move inside caused the turn over.... CLEARLY Ann neglected to see FOUR of Houston Players crashed down on Kym. As soon as she touched the ball! 3 of the 4 being Houston's Big Three! WTF Ann want Kym to do? All game a HURT Kym Hampton was getting double and triple team as soon as she touched the ball! Kym made a strong move to the basket in the open series, Ref called a travel on Sis! In replay, THERE WAS NO TRAVEL! When Kym made her And 1 in the 2nd half, Ann aint say much. I'm intrigued to know, whats Ann's Beef with Kym? I remember watching this game with my Grandma. Sitting on the foot of her bed, when T Spoon hit that shoot, I yelled at the top of my lungs! Crystal Robinson was ballin, Tina Thompson was Ballin, Swoop's was FAST AF!!!! A Rook Becky Hammon was Cold! This was a great game! The W games used to be PACKED!!!!! These women were my basketball idols! Crazy how life works and many of these players, I am able to dial up and hit their lines directly. God Thank You for the Sisterhood of Women's Basketball!!!!

Teresa Witherspoon should have won a Championship she was a great player

Watching in 2024. Great game with no easy lay-ups!

Top 5 greatest wnba / nba / basketball games ever!!!

Attendance for Game 2 of the 1999 WNBA Championship was a sellout crowd of 16,285 fans.

Wow finally a WNBA on NBC game!!! Thanks for the upload. Definitely got yourself a new Sub!! Do you have any more classic WNBA games? It's sad how it's not alot of classic games on youtube from the early 2000's on but a few :(

0:44 - the original “big three” before it became a common term!

I love watching games from the 90s.

please post more houston comets videos omg i remember this i was 13! miss the old WNBA!

I can remember when the WNBA first started, i pray to see the women reach the level of there counterparts, salary and endorsement, this series was a great battle HIGH intensity and the fans have been real die hard in prospective over the years, opinion only, Today's game came from a sturdy foundation, salute

I remember watching this game screaming my cords out when they won in section 8 Alaska housing with my 7 yr old brother.

amazing !!!

MIKE BREEN A LEGEND

That team with Cooper, swoops& Thompson would beat the wnba teams of 2day !

Thank you for uploading the full game of game 2 of the 1999 WNBA Championship/Finals!! :-) I do not believe any shots in the NBA, given the context and atmosphere of this game, could compare to this WNBA Championship/Finals game. A sellout crowd at the Compaq Center, confetti falling down prematurely, noise and passion that can rival any NBA postseason game, and the final 20 or so seconds of that game with the New York Liberty's chances of a championship on the line or a Houston Comets 3-peat and sweep to honor the late Comets guard Kim Perrot that passed away during the 1999 season What do you think? Do you agree or disagree that Ray Allen's shot in game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals was better than Weatherspoon's shot? Do you believe there are any NBA Finals shots that are at par or exceed hers?

Hey I found a screenshot of the 1997 WNBA on NBC in Pinterest.

Where are the opening of wnba on NBC graphics intro

You guys see how the production value dropped after this era? A young but certainly beyond capable Mike Breen, and whoever was the video producer certainly knew what they were doing - anything after 2010 (and probably earlier) comes across the screen like a Division II college game and I think that has killed the marketing more than anything. It didn't have to be a women vs men thing; even as a 18 year old kid I saw this as another league I could follow, and this game in particular was super exciting. Now I watch a game and it's like 😐 and that is a production problem, imo

Mike Breen is terrific actually.

I think this was the first WNBA season if I recall collec lec

Hello My name is Kiana and I am a graduate student at Hofstra University. I am doing a project based on life after basketball. I am interviewing some former WNBA players. I was wondering if I can have your permission by using some of these highlights for some extra footages. Let me know as soon as possible. Thank you for your consideration.

Way better than the Rockettes.

Where's pregame opening for the WNBA on NBC

Mike Breen before Bang!

3 for 10 Houston Comets.

Teresa Weatherspoons 3 with 19 minutes to go in the 2nd half yet they only counted it as a 2, look at the scoreboard!

The only Finals game NY has ever won.

Too bad that the Houston Comets are folded
