It’s been twenty years since a team won back-to-back WNBA championships. The Las Vegas Aces hope to change that.
Twenty years ago the Los Angeles Sparks won back-to-back championships. No WNBA franchise has yet to repeat the Sparks’ feat, though this year, the top seeded Las Vegas Aces have a shot to do exactly that.
In her first year as the Aces coach, former San Antonio Spurs assistant coach Becky Hammon won the 2022 WNBA championship. Hammon has one of the best guard trios in WNBA history on her roster —that’s Kelsey Plum, Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young. Hammon also has three-time MVP A’Ja Wilson on her side. If there’s ever a year the Aces can take over where the Sparks left off, it’s this year. But first, they’ll have to get by Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu and the NY Liberty.
