History

Historical Context

Approved in 1996, the WNBA began in 1997 with eight teams; Lisa Leslie quickly became a marquee star, and Cynthia Cooper guided the Houston Comets to the inaugural 65-51 championship. Over two decades later, rookie Caitlin Clark’s 37-point, 10-assist game echoes Leslie’s early dominance, spurring sponsors like Nike and ESPN to increase investment as the league expands.
