New York Liberty

The New York Liberty are a professional women's basketball team in the WNBA based in Brooklyn, New York, for the Eastern Conference.They are currently one of the 12 teams of the league.
== Background ==
As one of the original 8 teams of the WNBA, the Liberty was founded in 1997 after it was announced the previous year that New York was one of the states to be selected into the league. They achieved instant WNBA Finals success for the first WNBA season but lost to the now defunct Houston Comets. They would return to the finals in 1999 (losing again to the Comets), 2000 (yet another loss to the Comets), 2002 (losing to The Los Angeles Sparks), and then the most recent finals, 2023 where they lost to The Las Vegas Aces. Despite their numerous playoff appearances and 5 finals runs, the Liberty have yet to win a WNBA title.
== Youtube history ==
The channel was created on June 9, 2020, and two days later "New York Liberty New Logo Reveal" was posted. Along with the new channel comes a new logo for The New York Liberty which was introduced on April 4, 2020. This is the first time the logo has been changed for the team as the previous logo had been the official logo since the team's founding. On the same day, more introductions happen as the players that were picked for the 2020 WNBA Draft are introduced in separate videos. We then get a look of off the court content with 2 "Virtual Pride Week Experience" videos, 2 "The Lounge" episodes, and "Breonna Taylor | #SayHerName" where players of the Liberty's 2020 roster as well as the team as a whole demand justice for , who was tragically killed on March 13, 2020, in a case of racial injustice and police violence. The main body of the channel contains highlights, and press conferences, but there is other content such as "Liberty Loyals", "All Access", "Sights and Sounds", additional player introductions and more.

* The Liberty has the most WNBA Finals appearances without winning the championship with 5 appearances.
* The Los Angeles Sparks and Las Vegas Aces became back-to-back WNBA champions beating the Liberty. Both events happened about 21 years apart which were the last 2 times the Liberty made it to the finals.
