We explore the different types of pressure in basketball and identify the true contending teams in the WNBA for the 2025 season.
• Basketball pressure is earned through past performance and proving oneself
• The New York Liberty, Las Vegas Aces, and Minnesota Lynx are the only true contending teams
• Teams like the Fever, Dream, Mercury, and Storm still need to prove themselves
• Three distinct types of pressure exist: basketball pressure, social media pressure, and casual fan expectations
• Social media pressure creates narratives like Caitlin Clark vs. Paige Bueckers to drive viewership
• Casual fan expectations often misunderstand basketball roles and specialization
• The Fever have potential but face cohesion and injury challenges
