The Atlanta Dream basketball team is based in Atlanta, Georgia, playing in the Eastern Conference in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). Founded before the 2008 WNBA season began. The Dream has qualified for the WNBA Playoffs in five of its six years in Atlanta and has reached the WNBA Finals three times. The franchise has been home to many high-quality players such as University of Louisville standouts Angel McCoughtry and Shoni Schimmel, former Finals MVP Betty Lennox, and Brazilian sharpshooter Izi Castro Marques. In 2010, the Dream went to the WNBA Finals but fell short to Seattle. They lost to the Minnesota Lynx in the 2011 and 2013 WNBA Finals. They have been in the finals for three of four years, but haven't won a single game in them, going 0-9.
