Whether your NBA team is in a constant state of tank, or simply likes to be on the winning basketball side, here are some WNBA teams to delay.

New York freedom

Pros: They just won the WNBA 2024 championship, they have the best colorway in the WNBA, and their pet is an elegant dance elephant.

Cons: Many have a deeply entrenched hatred towards New York sports teams; They play in Brooklyn, not in Manhattan, they are affiliated with the networks, not to the Knicks.

The 2024 champions are a great team to support if you like drug basketball merchandise and is entertaining by an influencer who is just someone in an elephant suit. Freedom has built a strong culture of excellence in Brooklyn, is known as one of the “Super Teams” of the League, and are about to reach the WNBA finals for the third consecutive year. His three greats of Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones look better than ever as they go to the 2025 season.

His pet, Ellie The Elephant, has now transcended from sports culture and pop culture: the girl has her own brand offers. In addition, the Seofoam de Liberty color scheme is undeniable incredible.

ACES DE LAS VEGAS

Pros: A’jja wilson, confirmed ability to win, great destiny to travel to see games

Cons: Jumping on the car this afternoon can make you look basic

WNBA 2022 and 2023 champions are a dynasty that has bones that control the narration for years. They have the best player in the WNBA in A’JA Wilson (debate with a wall, she is the best), who has just dated one of the best shoes of the firm in the history of basketball. The MVP 3X and his team of Olympics and Champions had a rocky season in 2024, but the preseason games showed that they are ready to claim their place at the top of the mountain.

If you hate the heat of the desert, have a strange revenge against Bam Adebayo (Wilson’s boyfriend), or I simply don’t want to be a follower in his car, maybe theses is not for you. Otherwise, they are a safe choice.

Minnesota Lynx

Pros: Cheryl Reeve T -shirt activism after the victory line, the sweet taste of revenge

Cons: Last year his best shot in a championship could have a leg, having to operate at the central time.

If he tuned the WNBA 2024 finals and expected Lynx to win, he can continue that support in the 2025 season. With a roser that looks mostly the same with which they succeeded last season, Lynx will be considered as a favorite of the championship this season. Naphesa Collier had a great season last year, followed by an even more incredible season uniquely, and looks better than ever.

The team is in revenge after feeling that they were stolen from the trophy last year.

Indiana fever

Pros: Caitlin Clark, easily accessible games because they are all on television, you can pretend that you have supported as a season that only 5 games won.

Cons: Potntiaxy many angry fans tweeting odious things, lack of defense

Continue with caution, but, if you like Caitlin Clark game, why not change the narration around some of the most hostile members of their fans base and promote being friendly? This year’s fever team is also exciting, since they have leveled the support crew around Clark, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell. They will certainly see a jump in their seasonal record, they will have a good opportunity in a decent playoff race, and Clark is already in MVP conversations.

Dallas wings

Pros: “First team all stallions”, Cowboy Hats, Basketball Wives The Show, but both basketball wives were in the team

Cons: The uniforms are not as murderous as other teams, cowboy aesthetics is not for everyone

The Dallas Wings arrived at the headlines on the night of the Draft when they chose Paige buyers for the first time in UCONN. She Jainea Arike Ogunbowale, Dijonai Carrington, Nalysa Smith and others in Dallas, a new appearance team under the new GM Curt Miller.

As a result, some online fans, as well as the literal players themselves, began publishing about Dallas as the new “world capital of the world.” Pause letter here for you to look for that term on Google.

So, if you enjoy the fun vibrations that the wings are already taking out, they would be a great team to cheer up.

Los Angeles Sparks

Pros: Babyyyy, the entire first team, changed to Kelsey Plum

Conservation: Cameron Brink is still injured, he still updates with the comforts for players

The sparks adopted the same iconic yellow and purple color as its neighbors La Lakers, with a small blue -green splash for fun. That makes uniforms, Merch and quite iconic equipment. In addition, the players themselves are fashion icons that always appear in the sun in the attacks prior to the game. Unfortunately, on the scale of the facilities of the WNBA team, the Sparks are a bit backward, and the players have reported that it is not a costume designated for the WNBA franchise inside its sand.

Fortunately, it seems that Cameron Brink will return to the court shortly after taking his acl last June.

Seattle storm

Pros: Good coffee, many opportunities for evil references

Cons: Possible just at the edge of being able to make a deep race in the playoffs, they are not intact anywhere

The Seattle storm is emerging as a very fun team this season. The four -time WNBA champions are completely renewed, and the days of the time of Bird/Stewart/Loyd have gone. However, there is much to get excited. The storm simply dates back to the French Dominique Malonga phenomenon, combining it with its fieldmate Gabby Williams. Skylar Diggins and Nneka Ogwumike are back, and this team can be a sleeping contender.

Its green color is bad and fresh, and girls are also fashion icons in Seattle.

Golden State Valkyries

Pros: It can be a fan from the beginning, purple, superheroes references

Cons: Decisions of the questionable list, definitely tanging, the logo does not fit at all in the shirt

The new WNBA expansion franchise is here, and a wild trip is a leg. Let me say that the aesthetics of the equipment is first level, and its violet/lavender color is perfect. Unfortunately, if you are looking for a team to win, I am not sure that Golden State is the team to go. As an expansion franchise, it is not expected to be established in the classification of the League. In addition to that, WNBA fans are confused with the options on the team list.

However, there is the opportunity to enter the ground floor here, which would make any championship very funny.

Washington Mystics

Pros: Young talents, zero expectations, Soni Citron’s father was kind to my friend once

Conservation: It can be anti -tank, the color scheme is very Rah America, Georgia Amore is out for the season

If you are a university basketball fan and you are starting to think where the high -year draft selections of next year are going, Washington can be the place. They made two lottery teams in this year’s draft, and another selection. 6 In general. They go with an extremely young team, and they are not doing the playoffs this season. They will probably choose again in the lottery in a little less than a year.

Sun Connecticut

Pros: The team can leave Uncasville soon, you like an afternoon of basketball and wandering the casino, you live in Connecticut and you have nothing more to do.

Cons: He lost the complete initial alignment last year, he has to occasionally share his practice with birthday parties for young children

The SUN has fallen from a team that contains the championship to a favorite of the lottery in a very short time. If you live in Boston, you may start now in case the team sells and ends up moving to your city. And if you like a trip to the casino, the team plays within one.

Chicago sky

Pros: The team that looks better than the early readings, Courtney Vandersloot has returned, the shirts are quite great

Cons: Change of selection No. 3, could have had Sonia Citron, where is this franchise going?

Chicago’s sky was ready to be a lottery team for the second consecutive year. However, they exchanged their general selection No. 3, by Ariel Atkins, and signed a group of veterans, and are not tank … teams. The first glance of the team in the PPE was quite good, with the idea that Reese Reese and Kamilla Cardoso de Kamilla with handle and ball controllers look decent.

However, this team is not a contender to the championship, so why not tank?

Phoenix Mercury

Pros: Are not the Phoenix Suns, Alyssa Thomas has zero shoulders and a dream, and a healthy Satou Sabeloso?

Cons: Where are the points protectors? No more spicy technical faults of Diana Tauurasi, seriously, who is the shipowner?

The chief coach Nate Tibbets apparently hates the average range sweater … which is strange since his best players depend on that shot. But even the potential basketball philosophy separately, the construction of the list in Phoenix is ​​a bit confused, since they have three combined players of wing/guard/front/advance extremely in Kahleah Copper, Alysa Thomas and Satou Saballyy. Kalani Brown in the center is also a good thing, but then its depth in position 1-2 … is not really there.

Atlanta’s dream

Pros: Lemon Pepper Wings, Cool Court Design, Renee Montgomery is a great woman bomb.

Cons: Confused about a system that is based on the three of BG, Jordin Canada’s capacity to stay healthy

Atlanta’s dream is another team where we need to see the vision to know where they are going. The two great dominant beginners signed in Brittney Griner and Brionna Jones, in a team trained by a guy who is known for playing a system that depends on the perimeter shots. Mathematics does not match. However, the dream has a great team atmosphere, and its fans base has been growing over the years.
