Las Vegas Aces Complete Dynasty Run as A’ja Wilson Makes WNBA History

The Las Vegas Aces have cemented their place in WNBA history. With a 97–86 victory over the Phoenix Mercury in Game 4 of the WNBA Finals, the Aces claimed their third championship in four seasons, sweeping the series and stamping themselves as the league’s most dominant force of the era.

Game 4: A Statement Finish

The Aces played with the poise of champions. By halftime, they had seized control, and every Mercury rally was met with an Aces answer. A balanced attack, suffocating defense, and relentless rebounding pushed them over the finish line.

A’ja Wilson’s Historic Season

At the heart of this run was A’ja Wilson, who delivered a postseason unlike anything the WNBA has ever seen.

• Averaged 28.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2 blocks in the Finals

• Set the single-postseason scoring, rebounding, and “stocks” (steals + blocks) records

• Recorded the highest points-per-game average ever on a championship team

• Logged the most points in a WNBA Finals series

• Became the all-time playoff leader in 30-point games

Wilson was named Finals MVP for the second time in her career, adding to her 2025 MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, and Scoring Title. She is now the first player in WNBA or NBA history to win all four honors in the same season — a crowning achievement for one of the game’s greats.

The Emotional Moment: “Thanks for Believing in Me”

When the final buzzer sounded, the confetti fell, and Las Vegas secured their third title in four years, A’ja Wilson’s emotions poured out. In tears, she embraced her boyfriend, Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo, and whispered:

“Thank you for believing in me.”

It was a raw and unforgettable moment — the face of the WNBA’s new dynasty breaking down in gratitude. Wilson’s hug with Adebayo wasn’t just about this season’s dominance — it symbolized the belief, support, and resilience that fueled one of the greatest runs the league has ever seen.

Becky Hammon’s Legacy

When the Aces hired Becky Hammon four years ago, expectations were high. She has exceeded them all:

• 3× WNBA Champion (2022, 2023, 2025)

• 2022 WNBA Coach of the Year

• 117–43 regular-season record

• 28–9 playoff record

• 10–2 Finals record (undefeated at home)

With this title, Hammon climbed to 5th all-time in playoff coaching wins (28), passing Michael Cooper.

Built on Investment and Belief

Owner Mark Davis purchased the Aces for $2 million and invested millions more into facilities, infrastructure, and resources. That commitment, paired with Hammon’s leadership and Wilson’s brilliance, has turned Las Vegas into the league’s gold standard.

The Dynasty Is Here

From Wilson’s historic postseason, to Hammon’s brilliance on the sidelines, to the emotional moment of belief that defined this championship — the Aces are not just champions. They are the heart of a dynasty that has reshaped the WNBA.

The Las Vegas Aces are your 2025 WNBA Champions.
