Marina Mabrey · With a patented, high-arching rainbow shot lofty enough to exceed the reach of the Statue of Liberty, and a dribble swift enough to weave through New York traffic, Marina Mabrey found that she was equipped with everything she needed to hand one of the WNBA’s elites their first loss of the 2024 season. Too talented for any one of the New York Liberty’s perimeter defenders to contend with, Mabrey trusts her chances against two, inviting a pick-and-roll far atop the 3-point arc. Navigating her controlled dribble through the closing elevator doors of the Liberty’s trap, Mabrey speeds through unscathed before evading Courtney Vandersloot’s final attempt at resistance with a smooth, off-hand finish. Perennially one of the WNBA’s most gifted talents, Mabrey and her versatility propelled the Chicago Sky to a fruitful result during their trip to the Big Apple on May 23, 2024. Noticeable in her fire on the defensive end, Mabrey paired it with 21 points — on an efficient 8-of-13 shooting — alongside six rebounds, seven assists, and three 3-pointers. · State of Mint
