After 21 years, a WNBA team has finally achieved back-to-back championships. The Las Vegas Aces commemorated their second consecutive championship with a joyful parade. The team secured their victory by defeating the New York Liberty 70-69 in the fourth game of the WNBA Finals. This historic game became the most-watched Game 4 in the history of the WNBA, and the Finals themselves had the highest viewership in 20 years, experiencing a 36% increase from 2022.
The event was filled with excitement, as both players and fans lined the streets of Las Vegas. Over 5,000 people were estimated to be in attendance by a Las Vegas Metro officer.
The celebration was filled with memorable moments, from Kelsey Plum puffing on cigars to head coach Becky Hammon referring to herself as an “old timer” and predicting A’ja Wilson’s future as the greatest player of all time in the WNBA. Sydney Colson stayed active on social media throughout the parade, prompting Hammon to inquire about the meaning of “going live” on social platforms.
Here are some highlights from the parade, including photos, videos, and tweets:
