About the WNBA Championship
Created in 1996, the Houston Comets were the first-ever champions of the WNBA in 1997 they went on to win the first four championships with Cynthia Cooper who is considered by many the best-ever female basketball player picking up the MVP in all four finals.
Whilst the teams are split into two conferences, to make the post-season you have to finish in the top eight of the overall league meaning the conference standings mean nothing.
There are three rounds in the playoffs, a best-of-three round one with the four teams advancing to the best-of-five semi-finals and then the best-of-five final to crown the champions.
