And here I was thinking I was out of tears 😭
"On this day August 30, 1997, the first WNBA Championship was played. Today, we’re honoring where it started while looking ahead.
Introducing the new WNBA Finals logo, a timeless identity designed to represent the league’s championship stage for years to come."
*assuming there is a full season next year which uh...... we'll see!
> On Friday, Chisholm said what had become apparent to anyone who had watched the reeling Yankees lately.
> The losing was getting to them.
> The Yankees have lost 15 of their last 22 games since June 18. They remain four games back of the first-place Rays in the American League East. Earlier in the day, Tampa Bay beat the Seattle Mariners.
> But Chisholm felt that the Yankees needed to shake it off.
> “I just feel like we’ve got to be more together,” he said. “I feel like we’re losing ourselves and we were splitting further and further apart, and I just feel like when we’re together, we’re unstoppable. Every time we go on a crazy run, it’s because we’re always together and we’re having fun together as a team, and I feel like that’s a big part of going on the baseball field and knowing your teammates and having your teammates’ back.”

“Winning an NBA Championship with the New York Knicks is everything I ever dreamed of. The fans, the city, this organization...This is why I came to New York.
​
I'm so proud of this team. No matter the situation, we never stopped believing in each other or lost sight of our goal.
​
With enough work and enough belief, your dreams are possible and you can overcome any obstacle. Whatever it is in life, believe that you belong.
​
People might disagree but let that strengthen your belief because with hard work, preparation, and the right mindset, anything is possible.
​
I can't wait to celebrate with my family, my teammates, the city of New York, and everyone who's been here from day one.
We don't win this championship without you!
​
I also look forward to continuing to support other people's dreams through my work with the Second Round Foundation, where our mission is helping young people determine their own success no matter where they come from.
​
It is important to me to support the under-resourced, under-represented, and under-estimated, and to ensure that they have the tools, guidance, and belief they need to achieve their dreams.
​
Thank you, New York. I am forever grateful.
And always remember...The Magic is in the Work.
