Tippy-toed kids waiting eagerly to see their favorite players. Fan zones, parties and brand activations. Here's what it's like at WNBA All-Star in Indy.

IndyStar's Madyson Crane attended all of the fan events during WNBA All-Star Weekend. Here is her recap.

Thousands of people flocked to downtown Indianapolis this weekend for the WNBA All-Star Game and the Indiana Black Expo. “I’m going to give Indiana its full respect,” said Marcus Chatman, who was visiting Indianapolis from Chicago.

Collier scored an All-Star Game record 36 points to lead her team over Team Clark in the highest scoring All-Star affair in WNBA history.

The WNBA All-Star weekend activities continued in Indianapolis as the top players displayed their talents in competitions.

This is exactly what Engelbert seemed to do with Minnesota Lynx players Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman (who are setting the women's basketball world ablaze with their "Studbudz" live stream on Twitch) on Friday night, as was seen dancing with these two players at a bar in downtown Indianapolis.

But don’t mistake it as a new phenomenon. Call it a comeback. From 1995 to 2010, nine WNBA signature sneakers hit the shelves, led by original stars Sheryl Swoopes and Lisa Leslie. In the next 12 years, there was only one, from Elena Delle Donne.
