The WNBA has a new world champion. And it is none other that the Las Vegas Aces who won their first title in franchise history and brought a first major championship to the city of Las Vegas. And they were led by Becky Hammon, a former WNBA star and an NBA assistant coach, who broke her own legendary records with Chelsea Gray’s Aces.

Hammon was appointed the head coach of the Aces at the start of this season. She played in the WNBA for 15 years and was a six-time All-Star. She also was an assistant coach for the San Antonio Spurs, only the second woman to don that role. And in 2020, she became the first female acting coach when Gregg Popovich got ejected in a game.
