The reigning WNBA champs lately walked the streets of Las Vegas bringing back-to-back championships to their hometown. It was the second victory parade in two years. The procession included a lot of fascinating aspects. But the biggest of them was a star player’s sarcastic spoof. A’ja Wilson on the day of Victory Parade decided to make a big statement and drew everyone’s attention.

The speculation of a three-peat grew as the Aces proudly displayed their triumph. The residents of Vegas cheered up their home team, and the players acknowledged the love by signing autographs and taking pictures with them. Amid celebrations, Wilson finally broke her MVP silence.

This year’s MVP drew a mixed response. Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty was named MVP, while A’ja Wilson was named DPOY. But many believed that A’ja was the better choice. A’ja and Breanna were on opposing sides in the finals, but there was more of a conflict. Despite the fact that A’ja’s rejection infuriated her followers, she didn’t reveal it until the finals.

When the season began, the defending champions had a weight of expectation to defend their crown. Despite adversities that Aces faced throughout the course of the league, the two things that influenced them more were the snub of A’ja Wilson’s MVP and the exit of Chelsea Gray and Kiah Stokes in the final game.

Their lead player, Candace Parker, was also sidelined due to surgery, but with a thin line on the bench, the Aces still managed to grab the title with an extraordinary display of talent.
