Sabrina Ionescu delivered a classy gift to rookie after Kelsey Plum request
Los Angeles Sparks star Kelsey Plum and New York Liberty guard Sabriona Ionescu are for the people.
Plum, who was traded to the Sparks in the offseason, is finding her footing. After spending seven seasons with the Las Vegas Aces, everything's new, including many of her teammates. While many may think that means it takes time to develop chemistry and trust, it seems like Plum is already diving right in. She recently revealed an awesome sequence of events between her, Sparks rookie Sarah Ashlee Barker and Ionescu.
"This is why the W is the best," Plum said before diving into an amazing and classy story.
Here's how it went down. Barker was wearing shoes during training camp that were old and had been seemingly used a lot. "Yo, we gotta get you some new shoes," Plum said she told her rookie. Barker then explained that she had new kicks on the way, but they were still stuck in transit. Plum then asked the former Alabama guard what kind of shoes she would want to wear, and the rookie shared that she likes the line from Ionescu because of the grip.
The veteran guard explains that she knows Ionescu and will ask her for some shoes in different colorways. Not only did Ionescu deliver, but she sent six pairs of her Nike signature shoes. Ionescu hooked Barker up with the latest versions of her Sabrina 2's and Plum couldn't help but be excited for her teammate. "Sab, thank you so much," Plum said. "These are fire!"

Liberty Coach's Blunt Response to Sabrina Ionescu's Behavior During Blowout
Liberty Coach's Blunt Response to Sabrina Ionescu's Behavior During Blowout originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Liberty are sending a message that they're perhaps primed to win their second straight WNBA championship this season. Advertisement On Sunday, they pulverized the Connecticut Sun by a final score of 100-52, and they equaled their league-record of 19 made 3-pointers in a game, and four of them came from Sabrina Ionescu, who scored a team-high 18 points on 6-of-9 overall shooting. Even though the Liberty were flying high in the third quarter, they challenged a foul that was called on Ionescu when Marina Mabrey of the Sun attempted a 3-pointer. They won the challenge, and Ionescu reacted with an exuberant celebration. She explained the challenge and her celebration, and head coach Sandy Brondello immediately had a response. "I was just really in the moment, but I knew I didn't foul her," Ionescu said. "So very thankful for my coaches and entrusting me with the fact that I asked for a challenge because I know I didn't. My ponytail was sideways. She hit me. Obviously, we were up by a lot, so it was a great opportunity for us to challenge and make sure that I can continue to earn Sandy's trust to be able to continue to challenge." Advertisement "She has my trust," Brondello said. New York jumped out to a 31-13 lead at the end of the first quarter, and it never looked back. It had an incredible 29 assists on 33 made field goals, and it held Connecticut to just 31.1% shooting while forcing 21 turnovers, which helped it score 29 fast-break points. Along with the Minnesota Lynx, New York is the only remaining undefeated team in the WNBA.

WNBA power rankings: Are the New York Liberty destined to repeat?
If there is such a thing as a championship hangover, the New York Liberty haven't heard of it. They defeated the Connecticut Sun, which was coming off their first win against the Indiana Fever, by 48 points Sunday, moving to 7-0 and extending their point differential to plus-144. That isn't just the best differential in the league, it's the best through seven games in WNBA history. Advertisement New York's start bears resemblance to the 2023 Aces. That Las Vegas team had a permanent chip on its shoulder after a low preseason ranking in 2022 and felt it needed to validate itself throughout the 2023 season, even after winning a title the year before. New York won its championship by the slimmest of margins and appears eager to prove that victory wasn't a fluke. Those Aces also started 7-0 with a point differential of plus-112 en route to setting a league wins record and capturing a second consecutive title. The Liberty have four extra games to set a record, but should also have their eye on the overall win percentage record held by the 1998 Houston Comets (27-3, .900). New York's revamped five-out offense has it launching from long range with abandon. The Liberty set the regular-season single-game record for 3-pointers (19) earlier in the season and tied it again Sunday. Their net rating of plus-25.1 points per 100 possessions is nearly three times the second-best team (Minnesota at plus-9.7). Even as other teams around the league exceed expectations, it's hard to keep up with the flamethrower New York is bringing to every matchup. Here's this week's power rankings, where the Liberty continue to lead: After the Sparks beat the Aces last season, when L.A. was whistled for 24 fouls to 16 for Las Vegas, Dearica Hamby poked the bear (even in victory!) postgame, saying, 'I want some of the calls A'ja Wilson gets.' Wilson saw that video on the way to the bus, and simply nodded in affirmation. It was hard not to think of that moment as she completely took apart the Sparks' defense Friday for her best game of the season. Wilson's performance was a good reminder that she is still the reigning MVP, a three-time winner of the award. She was lethal as a scorer from every area of the court, off the catch, on drives and even as the offensive initiator. Her timing on rebounds was unmatched, and she was a force defensively in the paint and on the perimeter. Her positioning was so good that it sometimes seemed as if the Sparks were throwing the ball to her. Wilson added six assists for good measure, the most impressive one an over-the-shoulder feed out of a double to Kiah Stokes. It resulted in the highest score of this season, per Basketball Reference, by a comfortable margin (40.2 to 35.1). Wilson's dominance is routine at this point, and the Aces are increasingly reliant on it. Eight seasons into her career, she keeps getting better, expanding her range of possibilities on the court. On a night that could have been about Kelsey Plum's return to Las Vegas, Wilson commanded the spotlight. Advertisement I was thinking about a conversation I had during the 2023 WNBA Finals when someone suggested that the Liberty simply needed an average game from Marine Johannès to have enough bench scoring against the Las Vegas Aces. The problem? Johannès doesn't have 'average' games. She has an unconventional style and runs hot and cold unlike almost any other player in the W. But when she's on, it is a sight to behold. Johannès had her first breakout performance of the season against the Golden State Valkyries. In typical Johannès fashion, she missed a couple wide-open catch-and-shoot jumpers but nailed multiple dribble pull-ups, including one over young French compatriot, Janelle Salaün. The New York guard even drained one of her trademark one-legged runners, the shot that put her on the map during that finals series. That 18-point outburst remains Johannès' lone double-digit scoring night of the season in seven tries. The Liberty are now deep enough to win without her contributions, and near unbeatable when she gives them anything. After sparingly playing in Atlanta's first four games, Naz Hillmon has been indispensable for Karl Smesko's squad. She helped close out Los Angeles on Tuesday with a game-sealing 3-pointer in the final minute. Hillmon sparked Atlanta's comeback from 17 down against Seattle on Friday with her work on the offensive glass; she had one fewer offensive rebound than the Storm collectively and the Dream won her minutes by 24 points. Hillmon's on-court net rating is a preposterous plus-32.9. She's rebounding the ball, protecting the paint and finishing inside at a high clip. She is also embracing Smesko-ball; Hillmon took six 3-pointers in her first three seasons but has attempted eight in the last three games. Rhyne Howard said after the Sparks' win that Hillmon was upset that her teammates were celebrating her made 3s too boisterously. Howard laughed as she said Hillmon simply needs to take more for that to stop. BIG BUCKET NAZ HILLMON 🚨🗡️ — WNBA (@WNBA) May 28, 2025 Atlanta signed two All-Star bigs during the offseason who pushed Hillmon out of the starting lineup, and Nia Coffey has been the first frontcourt player off the bench given her historic willingness to shoot. But Hillmon provides something a little different with her physicality inside and her rim-running. If she can add the 3-point shooting — and she is certainly trying — she checks all of the boxes in the Dream's new system. Atlanta has to find minutes for her. As a reminder, this section isn't reserved for the best rookie, rather one I've had my eye on. That's an important caveat to highlight this week after Saniya Rivers had a devil of a time with another rookie, Paige Bueckers, in Tuesday's meeting between Connecticut and Dallas. Rivers gave Bueckers too much space to read the floor, allowing her to distribute and get to her pull-up with minimal resistance. When Rivers did try to play tighter on Bueckers, the Dallas guard blew by her. Combine that with Rivers missing all three of her catch-and-shoot 3-pointers, and it was just about the worst performance Rivers could imagine — at least until the Sun were absolutely obliterated by the Liberty later in the week. Advertisement This is what made her bounceback against the Fever so impressive. The Sun moved her off the ball on defense, assigning her to guard Kelsey Mitchell, and Rivers was fantastic navigating screens and using her size to envelop the All-Star on the perimeter. After clanking all of her jumpers against the Wings, Rivers remained confident in her shot and sank three 3-pointers, one of which came with Connecticut clinging to a one-point lead with under two minutes to play. Since she was mostly used as a spacer on offense, Rivers made quick decisions when she got the ball in her hands. Rachid Meziane kept her on the floor for a season-high 32 minutes and she rewarded the coaching staff with a season-best 12 points and six assists. A particularly excellent sequence came when Rivers was switched onto Aliyah Boston on defense and fronted her in the post, preventing Indiana from entering the ball into her. After the Sun got the stop, Rivers led a fast-break possession, assisting Jacy Sheldon for the easy bucket. This is how it goes for most rookies: uneven performances with enough flashes of greatness to keep the faith. One request for the Sun for a player who projects as a future franchise cornerstone: Let's get Rivers a headshot so the starting lineup photo doesn't show her NC State uniform. The first time Becky Hammon has to coach against one of her former assistants comes Saturday against the Valkyries, as Las Vegas will face off against Natalie Nakase and former Aces players Tiffany Hayes and Kate Martin. Golden State has defended well early and clearly knows the personnel on the other side. This is also an important Commissioner's Cup matchup for Las Vegas. The Aces won a road game in Seattle to kick off the group stage but will likely need to win out over the next four contests, as the final matchup of the qualifying round takes them to Minnesota.
