Welcome to “Stew’ York.”
For the past two years, the New York Liberty have sought one of basketball’s greatest stars. In 2022, Joe and Clara Wu Tsai along with head coach Sandy Brondello made their pitch to Seattle Storm superstar, Breanna Stewart. Their pitch was convincing, but it ultimately wasn’t enough as Stewart returned to Seattle to play with Sue Bird in her final WNBA season. The Liberty ran it back this offseason and went all the way to Istanbul to make their case to the future Hall of Famer.
At noon on Wednesday, it all paid off.
