Lacking in confidence last season, Marine Johannes returned to her best form during her time in the WNBA over the summer. The experience was so beneficial that she should logically go back there, and she might be involved in a historical project. Indeed, the Liberty is building a potentially legendary team!
Currently busy with the women’s ASVEL, where she shines in the French championship and in the European cup, Marine Johannès undoubtedly keeps the WNBA in a corner of her head. Indeed, if the tricolor rear has regained her confidence and is making an excellent start to the season in the Rhône, it is largely thanks to her last American experience, since she has established herself as one of the queens of the entertainment.
Besides, his passage did not mark only the fans, since Liberty executives made a big decision about him. If she wants to find the Big Apple and the teammates with whom she tasted the playoffs last summer, she will be more than welcome! And when we see what is being prepared in the franchise, it would be surprising if it did not seize this dream opportunity.
Marine Johannès in the best WNBA team?!
Indeed, at the start of the week, the Liberty agreed with the Connecticut Sun for an exchange around Jonquel Jones, recent MVP and one of the best players on the planet. The franchise should necessarily pass a milestone in the WNBA hierarchy and establish itself as a contender for the title. The news was so important that even Kevin Durant reacted :

Jonquel, welcome to New York City. We are happy to welcome you and I can’t wait to see you play at the Barclays Center. It’s going to be so good this summer I can’t wait. Lots of love.
With Jones, the Liberty recovers an exceptional winger, who averaged 14.6 points and 8.6 rebounds during the last exercise, even though she was limited by her coach’s system. Despite these inauspicious circumstances, she finished on the All-WNBA and All-Defense teams, which speaks volumes about her talent. Imagine it with the protegee of Kobe Bryant Sabrina Ionescu and the French Marine Johannès is more than attractive.
And that’s not all, since New York has more than 300,000 dollars under the salary cap, the price of a maximum contract. And according to several rumors, this money could be used to convince Brianna Stewart, the best basketball player in the world. If this signing is confirmed, the Liberty will have a workforce capable of writing the history of the league, and the star of the Blue could be part of it!
If the Liberty project succeeds, Marine Johannès could play with Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones and Brianna Stewart, in what would be one of the best teams of all time. The project is more than attractive and could take the WNBA to a new dimension.
