New York Liberty players experienced an unexpected pre-game meeting with franchise legends.

The visit occurred as the Liberty prepared for their game against the Sparks, coinciding with the WNBA's 29th anniversary.
The team's legends joined the current players for scouting reports and film review. After the business concluded, the icons reflected on the WNBA's growth since its inception 29 years prior, on June 21, 1997. Some current Liberty players were not even born when the league began.

This approach, as described by Weatherspoon and Vickie Johnson, signifies a "greatness of mind," a "never-give-up approach," and playing with blue-collar pride.
