Ellie the Elephant taking the mascot world by storm: How she stole the hearts of basketball fans and beyond
Briefly

"As much as people are coming out to buy tickets for our athletes, some folks want to come out and see Ellie," Liberty Chief Brand Officer Shana Stephenson said. "Ellie pushes the boundaries of who a mascot has been traditionally."
"Work it. Work it," fans could be heard saying as she entertained them. Her rise to stardom is a domino effect of the growing demand for the WNBA.
"I just love the excitement and the buzz around the league as a whole," Stephenson said, adding that Liberty games have been described as the "best summer party in Brooklyn" with the "best game day atmosphere in sports."
Ellie has gone viral for executing the latest TikTok challenges, her fly outfits, GRWM videos, and intricate dance routines. Although she doesn't speak, her energy keeps the vibe alive.
