This was one of the greatest basketball series I have ever seen men or women. I mean this was just legendary... Sue Bird vs Diana Taurasi. I wish this was the finals. Every game was just insane.
Sue Bird = GOAT. She probably had the most clutch performance of her life in that fourth quarter, and doing it with a broken nose. Holy shit, what a warrior.
Now this is a game. Damn I dunno what others are smoking but the WNBA has always been fun to watch. People just want flare and hype but I'm the type of fan who enjoys even the most basic kind of basketball. Awesome job by both teams.
As much as i agree that they got skills, in the end professional basketball is an entertainment industry. And most people are entertained by flare, hype, and dunks. I truly believe if WNBA wants to have the same success as NBA they should lower the rim to allow for dunks. While this may mess up their layups and shooting, they are professionals and I believe they will be able to adjust quickly.
Not all games are like this though, in the NBA you regularly always get good competition entertaining competitions even for the bad teams but in the wnba you will only get this type of showing by the best of the best teams playing
This series SHOULD have been the Finals as both squads played amazingly. I was at both Phoenix home games and it was just as thrilling in person. That run of Sue’s in the 4th of game 5 is why she will go down as one of the all time greats....even as a Mercury fan I’ll give credit where credit is due.
So a repeat of Seattle Sonics 1979. They had to beat Phoenix in an elimination game at home to win the Western Conference, then beat Washington 4-1, winning the title at DC. The Seattle Storm did the same this year, to the same opposing municipalities (except the final was 3-0 rather than 4-1).
Battle of the Uconns and what a battle it was....one for the ages! Congrats to Sue and The Storm and we'll see you next post-season! Mercury hang your heads high you did great and took it to the last possible game! Don't believe the doubters the WNBA is still great!
I still like rewatching these from time to time. I'd like them a lot more if they hadn't had to let Clark, Howard, and Whitcomb go considering how they figured prominently in this great game.
I was in ymca once and everyone knows they're levels to court cred. You are good, others amazing, then some people come in like near pro statues and this one college girl came in with her dad/coach and she was DRILLING every single shot like it was nothing. I'm sure she'll be in WNBA someday
Watched it again and I'm sorry but when this many Huskies play and on opposite teams to boot, I don't care who wins, I'm happy for them all. Uconn can put out some players in the WNBA! D3, Sue, Breanna, Maya, Tina, Lobo.....Vols too. Makes me miss that UT/UConn rivalry even more.
Sue Bird= Hall of famer and suck it Phoenix go home hahahahaha!! What a series and sooo glad seattle won it and deserved it!! Best of luck to them in the finals hope they win it ✊!!! Sue Bird got the last laugh again
@@advvit7773 I do not believe in luck! Just God 🌞 I am different Me! Ms. 🐦 are around the same age group, I like UConn women basketball they win everything; plus, she's kinda cute two 👼 Me! If I was two 🌚watch the WNBA it would be just because I Think she hot hot 🔥 And she can hoop; but, I gotta tell you I am fan of hers; I digress Me! Watching 👀 a WNBA game I do not know🤔
@@advvit7773 well, I am second coming of the son of God! That's what I am also called the promoters best friend; no one wins nothing without Me!.. Nothing...
Here to see what the wnba is about to be honest exactly what I expected don't get me wrong they would certainly woop my ass on a court but u can't demand NBa money and not be NBA caliber and to be honest it's a supply and demand thing not a woman thing if they we were talking about about two accounts etc and there was a wage gap then I'm on board
@@TN-ro1zh thts the thing they do get paid what they deserve WNBA doesn't generate what the nba does they aren't selling merchandise shoes etc if women supported them the same way men support NBA or any sport for that matter they would be on par with male sports
@@TN-ro1zh NBA gives you guys 25 million a year. 250k contracts would mean you guys spend all 25 million on payment. How about coaches? Announcers? Rent? Travel? You guys gonna book your own flights and chip in on an arena? Its wishful thinking. But it wont happen. The whole WNBA youtube channel gets less views than guys building batteries. 110k a year is more than majority of the country makes. You sound super stupid. If they increase salaries that much they gotta cut the league down to 3 teams.
Why do u have so much disrespect for the WNBA? There is no way your freshman high school basketball team is as good as the WNBA. I’m not even that much of a WNBA fan, but that’s just wrong.
