We have condensed everything you need to know to follow this 25th WNBA season in a nice file.Ready ?An iconic logo, a miniature leader and an orphaned city.Born at the height of the Hornets' marketing success, the Charlotte Sting would experience a trajectory substantially similar to that of its sister club.A look back at the honeymoon, as short as it was intense, which linked North Carolina to its women's team.Any basketball fan who has experienced the post-Jordan NBA landscape will tell you that.Between greedy Lakers and Spurs, the Detroit basketball of the Pistons brutally interrupted the natural order of things.However, at the same time, it was on the women's side that Detroit amassed the most titles.Immersion in the history of the best WNBA franchise of the 2000s.Four months after the Olympics, Gabby Williams gave us her time for a very rich discussion, full of frankness, even on thorny subjects such as her departure from Chicago.What a pleasure to chat with the smiling Rebecca Allen and to get to know better the one who has become a key player in New York, Valencia and the Australian selection.Little gift of the weekend, with an interview with the MVP of the best WNBA team: the brilliant Jonquel Jones!Like any self-respecting US sport, the WNBA has a whole host of traditions with their own set of quirks;and, no doubt, that of the mascots is not the least endowed with anomalies of nature.Mascots but why?Their role is quite simple, they must warm up the room, transform time-outs into a real show, entertain the children, participate in charity events, and possibly freak out their race to opponents who venture onto THEIR floor.In short, they are the embodiment of their frankness, the sympathetic image that enchants young and old.Thus, they are supposed to bring magic to the WNBA universe, when we know very well that it is about an adult dying of heat in a more or less strange costume.Yes yes, I did write "strange", because in terms of oddities, the mascots of our beloved league are worth their weight in peanuts.Essential figures of our sport, I'm going to tell you about a sour world born from the sick mind of US marketers.Come on, I put on my “Larry Bird” jersey and my “Gary Payton” shorts, and, as a good piñata fan, it's going to trashtalk stuffed animals like never before!Sensitive souls abstain, reading prohibited at least 18 years old and may the force of Margo Dydek be with me!Star was born at the Atlanta Zoo on May 1, 2008 (man, the guy comes out of a zoo, it starts well, you tell me, at the moment the Dream is the circus, so everything is fine).Oh, well say, exactly for the foundation of the franchise, if it's not a stroke of luck (well, stroke of luck, it's still limited, the guy was born in zonzon)!All we know about Star's origins is that her parents are migratory birds and loved Atlanta so much they settled there.But what kind of bird is it?No one knows, because with its baby bird face, it is impossible to identify it.Besides, you don't find it strange that, more than 10 years after his appearance, the guy still has his baby face;I think he's running growth hormones, boy.Here, speaking of birds, in Atlanta, they have a thing with birds: Atlanta Hawks, Atlanta Falcons… and there for no reason, while the name of the franchise is the Dream, they find a way to stick a sparrow… This is a mystery.Beyond these highly philosophical considerations, we learn in the official bio that his passions are basketball (especially the WNBA) and putting on a show, which comes in handy when you're the mascot of a WNBA franchise. 'll admit.Moreover, Star is a born showman, he started at the Atlanta zoo but as he dreamed bigger (bug this valve on the Dream we will have worn it out), he moved on to the Dream.So it's a promotion… when you see the crowds at State Farm Arena, I don't want to see Zoo Atlanta accounts.Bug just the name already: Sky Guy, and the mascot of the Bulls, it's Bull Raoul, right?Born on July 11, 2006 in Chicago, the guy has everything from a foam superhero, literally.He considers himself to be Sky's biggest fan (I know another one, so they're two 'biggest Sky fans') and his main hobby is meeting other Sky fans;basically outside the WNBA season (which lasts 4 months I remember), the guy is lazing around.We are told that he has 5 older sisters, all basketball players, and that, therefore, from an early age, he has been a supporter of women's basketball teams.So I conclude that while his sisters were toiling away on the floor, he was making a puppet show in the bleachers: the more, the better, the more he has all the attributes of laziness.He has a whole bunch of gadgets, including a jetpack, which are supposed to look cool but which once again betray his incomparable laziness;like he can't walk, looks like Trinita, the guy.Pay for your blase, Blaze.He was born on July 11, that's all we know about him, or almost.No official bio, Monsieur Blaze cultivates mystery, he has manners;I believe that it is not very clear and that it has something to reproach itself for.His main hobby is to make children laugh but with his Fraggle head (I read that on the internet and went to check, it's true he has a Fraggle head), he kind of freaks me out.Would you leave him alone with children?Personally, I wouldn't go build sandcastles in his garden, he's got everything a serial killer does, this guy.Officially, he's a ray of sunshine, a what?... Wait, I'm throwing myself out the window and coming back...The advantage of living on the ground floor is that you hurt yourself less when you commit suicide.We say ?Ah yes, a ray of sunshine... Bug, a ray of sunshine... You will tell me, at least, we escape the rotten sun with dark glasses (which are used to protect ourselves from the sun, you will note the logic), mascot that the found in certain pubs from before civilization.If you were wondering why Jonquel Jones has been rolling over everyone since the start of the season, well you have the answer.When you see Blaze, the weird-looking sunbeam, don't you feel like smashing faces?That's it.First, we stand and applaud the only WNBA mascot to officially be a girl.It's the WNBA and they found a way to stick mascot guys everywhere, oh well.Okay back to Lightning.Born on May 20, 2017, she kicked her predecessor (a guy we'll talk about later) and took power in Dallas from the 2017 season: GIRL POWER!Since then, it is she who provides the show in Texas.Although it is supposed to be a pegasus, no one can identify it: some see a unicorn (note: you pay for an article on stuffed animals because of that), others see a horse with butterfly wings.So why a pegasus?There are 2 versions, the official one, which says that the pegasus has been the unofficial symbol of the city of Dallas since 1934 and the installation of an advertising neon sign, which has become legendary, by the oil company Magnolia Oil Co, mine, which suggests that the guys in charge of finding a new mascot were working on DMT while watching My Little Pony.Because we have to be honest, Ligthning is not the pegasus of Saint Seiya, his style is more like Polly Pocket.You'll tell me it's not the armor that makes the knight, and I'd tend to say it's true, but take a look at the Wings track record (I said a quick eye, me the last time I went there, I burned my retina).Basically, it's not a horse out of a cartoon with butterfly wings stuck on it that wins you matches.So there we have a champion with friend Freddy.He was born on July 11, an unknown year, too, to believe that all psychopaths were born on July 11 and make a mystery of their year of birth: Freddy, Blaze, Yul Brynner… Freddy Fever, just the name is a nightmare , we immediately feel that his parents have abused the DVD "The claws of the night".The guy is supposed to make kids laugh and he's the plush version of Freddy Krueger.They won't be laughing the kids for long.Other than his birthday and his job, we know absolutely nothing about him, except that he is the "friendliest fan of Fever fans", I don't know any Fever fans so it's probably true (by the way, in addition to being the friendliest, he is perhaps the only one).Freddy is therefore an enigma.A certain person, who I won't name (but who is well known on Twitter and has a basketball shoe addiction), has speculated that it's a virus, given the name of the franchise it stands: Freddy is a virus.In addition to being a virus, he is a speeder.Known for driving, under amphetamines, on the floor on a scooter, on a motorbike or by means of something that has everything of a toilet with wheels, he is, on the Indiana side, the main threat on the floor since the start at the retirement from Tamika Catchings.The latest mascot is obviously the little Buckets.He was born in 2018, and that's all we know, it sucks, but have you ever tried to ask a rabbit for his date of birth?All Buckets is known for is that he is a lucky bunny;so that, we talk about it again at the end of the season, because with the roster that the Aces pay for themselves, if they are not champions, I know a candidate for the civet.Besides, I think we can say he's not related to a certain Kayla McBuckets, or else you'll have to explain.On second thought, I don't want to know.Buckets looks like a drug addict: he does backflips for no reason, and he has eyes, not without laughing, you saw his eyes.Truly I tell you, friend Buckets does not turn crystalline;I think he's spent far too many evenings with the Mad Hatter and the March Hare.And anyway, I don't trust an animal that spells its name Bucket$, all because it cribs in Las Vegas.Born on July 20, 2007 in Cainaheim, California (probably the canine version of Anaheim), Sparky began his career as a direct pro mascot.The eldest of a litter of 10 puppies (5 males and 5 females, which therefore makes him 4 brothers and 5 sisters), he is the guy in the family who has made a success of his life.Famous for his dance moves and his purple Mohawk haircut, he's obviously been hanging out with punks far too long outside the Monoprix in LA, which makes me think he's a dog to punks.A fan of everything that gives pride of place to canines, it nevertheless appears in his official biography (crap, that can't be invented) that he hates the film Air Bud;I think he has the seum of not having obtained the title role.(Warning: anyone who makes reference to a certain flat country will be marabouted by the entire Washington Mystics team and will be filled with bad vibes ad vitam aeternam; it's a blow to have bad karma and to reincarnated as a fan of the Atlanta Dream or the Dallas Wings).Besides, Sparky's friend loves trashtalk, when asked what his favorite dish is, he roughly answers: Western Conference teams, I know one who, when he meets Brittney Griner, doesn't go not make old bones (Yes I dared to do it, so I have no limit).Prowl the Minnesota lynx is officially a psychopath.Already his name means to roam, to be on the hunt, to maraud, that's it… Moreover, he announces several dates of birth: June 29, July 13, August 18… Personally, I think he was born on July 11.Prowl is a serial killer: 2011 the Dream, 2013 again the Dream, 2015 the Fever, 2017 the Sparks.Piercing blue eyes (oh boy Prowl is a white walker) and sharp teeth immediately tell you that the statement "Prowl is a kid's friend" is a big lie.Apart from skinning people, Prowl likes to jump around like a frog on cocaine and smack crazy dunks, which doesn't reassure me at all.Some will say that I exaggerate, I will remind them of one thing, a lynx is perverted, a bit like a ferret for that matter.Anyway, I never trusted insurers.Although officially gender-neutral (she does what she wants), Maddie looks like a lady.Born June 29, 1997, she is by far the oldest WNBA mascot.Which isn't surprising, they like old stuff in New York, especially old junk stuff, they have a Louis la Brocante soul there.Its name is a tribute to Madison Square Garden, which highlights its great age, given that the Liberty no longer plays there (on the other hand, finding a name from Westchester County Center is kinda like giving Kylo Ren a lesson in self-control).In real life, Maddie is a dog with a crown on her face (you know that of the statue there).So she likes dog stuff, she does dog stuff and she dances.In short, Maddie is a nice doggie, totally harmless, and as they write in her official bio "Maddie is a perfect fit with the New York Liberty" ... Well, they are not ready to win a championship in NYC, at believe that Maddie also officiates at the Knicks.You know what they say about dogs and rabies and all that... Don't think I'm taking any pleasure in any of this, I'm just doing a favor.Have you seen the guy's face?Is it really necessary to winnow a guy who has this physique?Will I shoot the ambulance like a PGM using the "unlimited ammo" cheatcode in GTA?The answer is yes.The guy's name is Scorch, the burn, and just for that you want to set it on fire.Especially since the guy repeats "It's a scorcher out there" over and over, man, it's summer and you're in Phoenix: it's 40°C, you were expecting spend a holiday on the ice (big shout out to Surya Bonaly)?Born June 9, 2002 in Hot Springs, he defines himself as hot and hot and loves all things hot and spicy (of course his favorite musical group is Red Hot Chili Peppers).But when you learn that he is a fan of Barney the dinosaur, you immediately understand that the guy gives himself a gender.Ultimately, Scorch is more drunk than scary.Consequence: it motivates the adversary more than it terrifies him;I believe that the Mercury would gain by choosing a plush Brittney Griner as its mascot, there, at least, you would think twice before trashtalking.Doppler owes its name to weather radars using the “pulsed Doppler” technique to calculate the speed of precipitation.If we immediately see the relationship with the Storm and Seattle, I ask myself the following question: how from a radar did they manage to obtain a hybrid between Gonzo from the Muppet show and Casimir?Born between July 10 and July 20, he looks like a candidate for the July 11 psychopath club.His main feat of arms is to have invented the "Doppler train", a kind of single file WNBA version reserved for children (another guy who abused the marquisette at the "ball" evenings organized around Chomérac, "07 represent").In addition to his more than dubious musical tastes (“no offense” I love the musette my great-grandparents met to a tune by Mistinguett), Doppler loves bad weather: blizzards, storms, rain… A piece of advice, if you are a fan of idleness and you come across him, flee to Mexico;if he follows you, they will know how to solve the problem there.Pax, the panda, was also born in a zoo, so I won't dwell on the subject again.Born May 23, 2006, Pax has 11 pro years, making him one of our veterans.So why a Panda will you tell me?Well, the answer is simple because it's cute.It has absolutely nothing to do with the Mystics, and all the weird voodoo stuff and other acts of witchcraft (“At the stake!”) practiced by this black mass-loving franchise (I can denigrate I already have rotten karma ).The Mystics therefore wanted a pretty “so cute” plush and they even based themselves on a scientific study to choose a panda (yeah it seems that people like pandas because they are associated with babies, come on!).But why something cute?The answer is purely commercial to bring people in, as if Elena Delle Donne weren't enough.If the fans only come to the arena to see a stuffed panda puppet on the edge of the floor with the team they have, I'm going to put them through the flamethrower.@HugoTheHornet wants Basketball Sting to come back.Join the fight to #BringBackTheSting #Beelieve #CharlotteSting pic.twitter.com/WlL1xfNEqZThe Sting had bet on two thieves, BB Sting, a kind of bee, and Buggsy, a kind of larva or cockroach, in short on insects.The Sting only lasted 10 seasons and the crazy career of BB Sting and Buggsy ended on January 3, 2007 on the windshield of a bus in Kansas City.No info unfortunately 😭Haley, mascot of the Comets, is as its name suggests a comet.Personally, I feel more like seeing a Shadok with a mop on his head than a comet.However, Haley and her girlfriends lived up to their name, they shone in the WNBA skies for 12 seasons (mostly the first 4) and disappeared into the vastness, possibly for eternity.Zap is a wild dingo from Australia, and you have to be crazy to leave Australia and move to Detroit.Zap officiated on the floor of the Palace from the inaugural season of the Shock in 1999, and this until 2010. Then?Goodbye Detroit, goodbye Zap, goodbye titles.Solee, the Sol's parrot, must have felt lonely in Miami;horrible crowds got the better of his short WNBA career.Three short seasons after arriving in Florida, the colorful plush has packed its bags.A bit like Icarus, Solee wanted to approach the sun and burned his wings.Miracle's mascot was called Star, like Dream's, and was a pegasus, like Wings'.He clearly mustn't like the 2019 season, man.Physical level and results, it's a bit the same as his girlfriend Lightning.After 4 seasons spent at the highest level, Star was kicked by a psychopath: two possibilities, either he preferred to stay basking in the pill in Orlando rather than freezing them in Uncasville, or he is in the garden of Blaze .Spot, the Portland Fire's Dalmatian, was clearly no light (the first who recognizes the reference will earn my undying admiration).It must be said that the Portland Fire absolutely did not shine.Spot, the pyromaniac fire dog, will only have set fires for 3 short seasons.Today he is sitting on a pile of ashes.RIP Portland Fire.Monty, the Sacramento Monarchs dragon, was absolutely nothing royal.It looked more like a bottle of gray Orangina with a half-croc, half-hippopotamus face decked out with two green horns.If you were expecting Daenerys to show up, give up hope;Monty is more like Elliott the dragon.After 13 rather successful seasons, the Monarchs and their friend Monty went out of business;it must be said: feeding a dragon, especially with such a belly, costs money.The Fox is a fox, we see that they racked their brains in San Antonio to find a name for him.Fox's cousin from Utah, he stole his job.Bravo, we see the family spirit.All that to get kicked by a rabbit in 2017, the height for a fox.Volt is a fox who obviously has seriously shorted.Just at his head, we see that he has the wires that touch.Seriously the guy has the head of a Fox McCloud (the hero of Star Fox) who would have abused LSD.In short, on arrival, there was only Volt to boost in Tulsa, and he ended up being tripped by Lightning.Fox is a fox, I stand up and applaud the originality of our Mormon friends.It is notable that Fox has a flattened head shaped like a Rugby ball due to too many appearances in ACME activities.After 6 years in Utah, he will be replaced by The Fox, his cousin from Texas.The two cousins ​​have now joined the "unemployed" team, in question, the arrival of a crazy rabbit.Your email address will not be published.Mandatory fields are marked with *By using this form, you agree to the storage and processing of your data by this site.*This is the unique opportunity to support your favorite site and have the ultimate swag.And the shipping costs are included in the price!2022 Swish Swish • GDPR • Legal NoticeSeattle won the sumptuous game 1 of its series of the 1st round of the WNBA playoffs against Washington.Jewell Loyd was clutch!New York made a splash with their win at champion Chicago in Game 1 of their series tonight.Sabrina Ionescu and Marine Johannès shone.We end these previews of the 1st round of the WNBA 2022 playoffs with a tantalizing clash between Chicago Sky, defending champion, and New York Liberty.Discover the preview of this series of the 1st round of the WNBA 2022 playoffs between the Phoenix Mercury and the Las Vegas Aces.We present to you the most anticipated poster of the 1st round of the 2022 playoffs, between the Seattle Storm and the Washington Mystics.Check out the preview of this first round playoff series between the Connecticut Sun and the Dallas Wings.Best-of-three series.Pre-order your Julie German t-shirt offered by Julie's fan club.Part of the profits will be donated to the ASBL Os'mose.Unisex model.Screen printing on the belly and back.Orders for the first series throughout the week of August 31, delivery from September 6/7.Resistant and qualitative, it's the Diana Taurasi of t-shirts!With the Swish Swish logo screen printed on the chest, you will definitely be the most beautiful 🤩📦 Shipping costs are included in the price.Resistant and qualitative, it's the Diana Taurasi of t-shirts!With the Swish Swish logo screen-printed on the chest, you will definitely be the most beautiful 🤩📦 Shipping costs are included in the price.
