Ionescu and Stewart have led Liberty well and will look forward to repeating last season\u2019s heroics and winning the WNBA championship for the second time in their history.

Alyssa Thomas for the Phoenix Mercury, on the other hand, has had an MVP-worthy season<\/a> once again. Her impact on Mercury\u2019s season is unmatched.
