The Phoenix Mercury is a Women's NBA team that began in 1997, one of 8 original teams when the league began. They are the sister team of the Phoenix Suns, who are also under the same ownership.

The team has fielded more than its share of superstar players, beginning with hall-of-famer Nancy Lieberman.

Players Michele Timms, Jennifer Gillom and headline-grabber Bridget Pettis has all contributed to the team's development into a major franchise.

The team made the playoffs in its first season, and has qualified multiple times since. They reached the finals twice more, and then won the Championship again in 2008.
