The Las Vegas Aces are the 2025 WNBA Champions.

Head coach Becky Hammon, in her fourth season, has been with the team during all three title runs.

The Las Vegas Aces started as the Utah Starzz in 1997. After five seasons, the franchise moved to San Antonio where they spent a decade as the Silver Stars before shortening it to Stars. In 2018, the franchise mobved again, this time to Las Vegas.

Hammon spent the second half of her WNBA playing career in San Antonio. I had the fortune of witnessing her final game as well as attending her retirement ceremony.

She wasted no time after retirement, joining Gregg Popovich’s staff as an assistant coach in 2014. In 2022, she left the Spurs to head coach the Aces, where she has found major success.
