Yardbarker on MSNSeven things we learned from WNBA's first full weekThere are two undefeated teams, the New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx, while the Chicago Sky, Connecticut Sun and Dallas Wings are still winless.
According to Ben Pickman of The Athletic, the Liberty are valued at $450 million after raising capital from a group of investors, which "is believed to be a record across professional women’s sports and is more than double that of the last publicly known capital raise made by a WNBA franchise."
Entering Thursday, the WNBA record for most 3s in a game was 18, which had been done six times, most recently by the Liberty themselves last season. Against the Sky, they one-upped themselves and made 19 3s to set the league's new single-game record.
It really was. The defending champion Liberty set a WNBA record with 19 3-pointers (in just 34 attempts) and shot 55.2 percent for the game in, yes, a 99-74 victory in the Sky’s home opener at Wintrust Arena. Chicago did have a plan, Vandersloot said, but you know what Mike Tyson used to say about those.
The Liberty’s valuation has set a new global benchmark as momentum around women’s sports continues to soar. A recent round of capital raising from a group of investors put the franchise valuation at a record $450 million, a source confirmed to The Post on Thursday.
New York Liberty owners sold shares in the WNBA team at what would be a record valuation of $450 million for a women's pro sports franchise, The Athletic reported Thursday.
