Las Vegas Aces Celebrate Their Third Championship with an Epic Parade<\/h2>\n\nEight years after the WNBA and the NBA Board of Governors confirmed the relocation of the San Antonio Stars to Las Vegas, the Aces celebrated their third championship in four years with an unforgettable parade down the famous Strip on Friday night.\n\n\n

We’re back!<\/p>Mark Davis, owner of the Aces<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nLed by a display of low-rider<\/em> cars showcasing their hydraulic systems, five double-decker buses traveled from Tropicana Boulevard to Las Vegas Boulevard. The last bus carried the Aces, who threw streamers and confetti at thousands of fans who began arriving four hours before the parade. The crowd stretched along the iconic thoroughfare, known for hosting some of the world’s biggest artists since the Rat Pack era in the 1960s.\n\nOn this special night, the Aces shone like undisputed stars, overcoming a 14-14 start to the season and two very close playoff series before sweeping the Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA Finals.\n\nFrom children to seniors and political dignitaries, Toshiba Plaza was filled to celebrate the fourth professional championship since 2022, with the Aces winning three and the NHL’s Golden Knights winning the Stanley Cup in 2023.\n\n\n

We should do it again next year.<\/p>Becky Hammon, Aces coach<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nHammon, who completed her fourth season with the Aces, commented that this year’s team was the easiest to coach.\n\n\n

They came and worked hard, no matter the circumstances. This is one of the groups with the most character and resilience.<\/p>Becky Hammon, Aces coach<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nAfter losing several key players from their previous championship rosters, the Aces welcomed many new faces and needed nearly three months to consolidate before achieving 16 consecutive wins to end the regular season and secure the second seed in the playoffs.\n\n\n

This is a special group, we pray together and toast with champagne together.<\/p>A’ja Wilson, MVP<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nA’ja Wilson, four-time MVP, was emotional when talking about Hammon’s dedication to each player. “She believed in us when no one else did. We wouldn’t be here without Becky Hammon.”\n\nNaLyssa Smith, who joined the team mid-season, looked at her teammates on stage and said: “You changed my life.”\n\nJackie Young, who has been part of the team in all three championships, was concise in her comment: “Just so you know, we’re not done yet.”\n\nThe celebration culminated with confetti and fireworks illuminating the sky while “We Are The Champions” by Queen resonated on the sound system.\n\nCrime Mob, Ludacris, and Mya provided live performances.\n\n\n

Now this is a parade.<\/p>Jewell Loyd, three-time WNBA champion<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
