Phoenix Mercury History
The Mercury were founded in 1997 as 1 of the league's 8 original members.
They reached the WNBA Finals in the league's second season, but they were defeated by the now-defunct Houston Comets, who romped to the first 4 championships.
A successful period in the late 2000s saw them win WNBA Championships in 2007 and 2009, and they followed that up with a third win in 2014 to cement their place among the league's most successful teams.
