Apologies in advance to anyone assuming life on the defensive end would get any easier when the New York Liberty’s all-world starting lineup decided to rest along the sidelines. Leveled up high enough in 2025 to be, perhaps, peering down at the Sixth Woman of the Year Award from a bird’s eye view, Kennedy Burke decided to let it fly with multiple “y’s” during May 22, 2025’s domination of the Chicago Sky. Catch-and-shoot cash arrived from all over the floor, and by game’s end, Burke had a steady hand in the Liberty dropping in 19 3-pointers, a single-game team record throughout the WNBA’s 29-year history. It became another footnote in an already-magical season for Burke, who sits atop the league in 3-point percentage (57.6) on respectable volume (3.3 attempts nightly). Enjoying across-the-board career-highs, Burke closed with 17 points, two assists, three steals, and a block, paired with standout efficiency overall (five-of-six), from deep (four-of-four), and from the charity stripe (three-of-four). · May 23, 2025
