It’s good to be Queen.
The Las Vegas Aces are playing with house money, winning two back-to-back titles and doing so in a dominant fashion. They are a bonafide super team and with their key players under contract, they will be the favorites to win it all again in 2024.
Doing so would give them a third-straight title, make them a dynasty and give them a solid case as the greatest WNBA team ever.
