Las Vegas Aces: See The Best Women’s Basketball Team in History

No one does spectacle and entertainment like the entertainment capital of the world. Sporting events are no exception.

The Aces production team and public address announcer Chet Buchanan keep a high-energy atmosphere in the arena from before tipoff through the final buzzer. Experience entertainment for the serious sports fan who wants to see talented ballers or for the entire family – all for very reasonable prices. In addition to high-energy music, there are giveaways, and fans can win a free slice of pizza if an opposing player misses two consecutive free throws.

With tickets prices starting as low as $10, you get one of the best shows in Vegas.

When you watch Ms. Wilson, the reigning league MVP and Defensive Player of the Year, you will know that you are watching the best women’s basketball player on Earth. Her silky smooth offensive moves in the paint are pretty much unstoppable.

When opposing teams drop more players in the middle, Ms. Wilson is nearly automatic with the mid-range jumper. All of this allows her to score about 20 points per game.

Not to be outdone by her offense, Ms. Wilson’s defense is beyond suffocating, and she regularly turns into a human fly swatter with key blocks. All we can say is if you are sitting courtside, you might end up with a spilled drink if one of her blocks heads your direction!

‘J Yo’ is one of the WNBA’s most prolific scorers and all-around players. Ms. Young also averages nearly 20 points per game and shoots nearly 50% from 3-point land (you read that right!).

Throughout the season, during close games, especially when teams focus on stopping Wilson, Ms. Young will often knock down a critical shot. And if the Aces didn’t have so many great players, it wouldn’t be hard to imagine Ms. Young averaging more than 30 points per game if she played on any other team.

We believe Ms. Plum is the most tenacious player in the league. Her doggedness on both ends of the court makes her a favorite of many Aces fans. You can find a clip on YouTube of Ms. Plum diving on the court and fight for a ball in a game with only a few seconds left where Team USA was up by more than 20—enough said!

She also regularly will jaw back and forth with opposing players adding to the game’s tension. Ms. Plum, one of the most prolific scorers in college basketball history, can score at will, as demonstrated by her 40-point game at Minnesota in July.

At 5 foot 8, she can pass and dribble like a second point guard and will regularly drive in or make a cut to the basket amongst the trees. A master on the court and in social media, Ms. Plum, is a must-follow. Plum married former Las Vegas Raider and current New York Giant Darren Waller in 2023.

In her playing career, Becky Hammon was an all-star guard for the WNBA’s San Antonio Stars – the same franchise as the Aces before they moved to Las Vegas in 2018.

After playing, Ms. Hammon was hired as an assistant coach of the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs. While there, notably, she was the head coach of the Spurs NBA Summer League in 2015 and became the acting head coach during a regular season NBA game in 2020 after Head Coach Gregg Popovich was ejected. Ms. Hammon’s mark on the game as a coach is unmistakable.

When games are close during the first half, Ms. Hammon will make adjustments that often will see the Aces suddenly going on a run and blowing teams away at the beginning of the 2nd half. You will also see her regularly working over officials after questionable calls and praising opposing players. She has clearly earned the respect of all.
