Collection: Atlanta Dream Basketball Cards

The Atlanta Dream, founded in 2008 as an expansion team, quickly became one of the WNBA’s most competitive franchises, reaching the WNBA Finals three times in their first six seasons behind legendary stars and passionate fan support. Early rosters featured scoring phenom Angel McCoughtry, the 2009 first-overall draft pick and five-time All-Star who became the face of the franchise with her elite scoring, defense, and leadership, carrying Atlanta to Finals appearances in 2010, 2011, and 2013. Although the Dream fell short each time, McCoughtry’s dominance, alongside key players like Erika de Souza and Sancho Lyttle, cemented the team as perennial contenders in the Eastern Conference. In later years, the franchise transitioned with rising stars like Tiffany Hayes, whose scoring ability kept Atlanta competitive, and defensive stalwart Elizabeth Williams, the 2016 Most Improved Player. Off the court, the Dream gained national attention in 2020 when players led powerful social justice initiatives, contributing to the election of U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock after opposing then-owner Kelly Loeffler’s political stance, eventually resulting in the team’s sale to a new ownership group committed to player advocacy and community engagement. Recent seasons have brought a fresh era led by 2022 Rookie of the Year Rhyne Howard, whose scoring and versatility have made her one of the WNBA’s brightest young stars, alongside key players like Allisha Gray and Cheyenne Parker. With Howard’s leadership, a young core, and renewed organizational stability, the Dream are building toward returning to championship contention while honoring their legacy of star power, resilience, and commitment to both excellence on the court and impact off of it.
