Billboard was courtside for the New York Liberty’s opening game of the WNBA season. See them celebrate their first championship in Billboard All Access. The New York Liberty showed up in their stylish ‘fits, ready to celebrate along with their famous mascot, Ellie the Elephant. The team celebrated their first championship in franchise history with diamond-encrusted championship rings and by raising the franchise’s first championship banner. Finals MVP Jonquel Jones shared what it was like to celebrate in her native country of the Bahamas. All this happened before their opening game tipped off against the Las Vegas Aces. Ellie the Elephant transformed into “Ellie Minaj” and entertained the crowd with her Nicki Minaj-themed halftime show.
