Napheesa Collier rattled off the coldest 10 words after the Lynx won the WNBA Commissioner’s-Cup

Napheesa Collier and the Minnesota Lynx have officially put the WNBA on notice.

Minnesota is the 2024 WNBA Commissioner’s Cup champion, and if you’ve been paying attention, its victory isn’t all that surprising. We’ve been trying to tell you in our WNBA power rankings that the Lynx are the best team in the WNBA, but I don’t think enough people are paying attention.

Per the WNBA’s site, the Lynx have the best defense (90.6 rating) and lead the league in steals and blocks per game. On the offensive side, Minnesota is ranked second in field goal percentage (45.3%), leads the WNBA in 3-point shooting percentage (39.8%), and also leads the league in assists.

With stats like that, it’s not hard to imagine why Napheesa Collier said,  “We’re here. I mean, what else is there to say?” after the Lynx walked away Tuesday with a Commissioner’s Cup victory over the New York Liberty.
