That's some really good work.
Last week, Nike put up a billboard in Manhattan celebrating Sabrina Ionescu's game-winning shot from Game 3 of the series. So, the company has been all over celebrating accomplishments during this exciting WNBA postseason.
The Liberty won with a late comeback aided by Breanna Stewart, who tied the game at 60-60 after hitting a pair of free throws with five seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Her trip to the charity stripe was controversial, as officials made a late call many disagreed with.
New York took command of the overtime period and was able to close things out to take home their first WNBA championship after five previous unsuccessful trips to the finals.
Nike thought that was a feat worth celebrating.
