The WNBA has had no shortage of excitement since tipping off its 2021 season on May 14.
Through the first 14 games of the league's 25th anniversary season, players hit a ridiculous number of game-winners and buzzer-beaters - so Insider ranked the best of the best.
Katie Lou Samuelson drained a mind-boggling half-court heave for the reigning champion Seattle Storm, while Diana "The GOAT" Taurasi added another game-winning three to her resume - albeit under bizarre circumstances.
And Sabrina Ionescu started off her career in New York with an off-balance last-second three to lift the Liberty to their first win at the Barclays Center.
