The celebration took place eight years after the WNBA and the NBA Board of Governors confirmed the relocation of the San Antonio Stars to Las Vegas.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We&#8217;re back!<\/p><cite>Mark Davis, owner of the Aces<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe parade, led by low-rider classic cars showing off their hydraulic systems, featured five double-decker buses that traveled down Las Vegas Boulevard from Tropicana Boulevard. The last bus carried the Aces, who threw streamers and confetti at the thousands of fans who gathered hours before the start of the parade.\n\nThe Aces, after a season start with a 14-14 record, overcame two hard-fought playoff series before sweeping the Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA Finals.\n\nThe Toshiba Plaza was filled with fans of all ages, from children to seniors, as well as political dignitaries, to celebrate the fourth professional championship since 2022, with three titles for the Aces and the Stanley Cup for the NHL&#8217;s Golden Knights in 2023.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We should do it again next year.<\/p><cite>Becky Hammon, Aces coach<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nHammon, who completed her fourth season with the Aces, highlighted that this year&#8217;s team was the easiest to coach. &#8220;They came and worked hard, regardless of the circumstances. This is one of the groups with the most character and resilience,&#8221; she stated.\n\n\n<p>Following the departure of several key players from the previous champion teams, the Aces welcomed many new faces and needed almost three months to consolidate, achieving 16 consecutive victories to finish the regular season and obtain second place in the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>This is a special group, we pray together and celebrate with champagne.<\/p><cite>A&#8217;ja Wilson, four-time MVP<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nA&#8217;ja Wilson, visibly emotional, spoke about Hammon&#8217;s dedication to each player. &#8220;She believed in us when no one else did. We wouldn&#8217;t be here without Becky Hammon.&#8221;\n\nNaLyssa Smith, who joined the team mid-season, expressed her gratitude towards her teammates: &#8220;You changed my life.&#8221;\n\nJackie Young, part of the team in the three championships, summarized her feelings in a few words: &#8220;Just so you know, we&#8217;re not done yet.&#8221;\n\nThe celebration culminated with confetti and fireworks, while Queen&#8217;s &#8220;We Are The Champions&#8221; played. The musical acts included Crime Mob, Ludacris, and Mya.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Now it&#8217;s a parade.<\/p><cite>Jewell Loyd, Ace and three-time WNBA champion<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Las Vegas Aces Celebrate Their Third Championship in Style Las Vegas dressed up to celebrate the Aces&#8217; third championship in four years, with a spectacular parade down the famous Strip.
