The Las Vegas Aces are setting the WNBA ablaze this season, emerging as the favorites to secure another championship title. With a roster adorned with multiple All-Star credentials, they are making waves across the league. However, the New York Liberty, led by the incredible Sabrina Ionescu, is the only team even remotely challenging the Aces’ dominance. Ionescu’s remarkable three-point shooting this season has been nothing short of spectacular.
Last evening the 25-year-old Liberty guard made WNBA history by drilling her 122nd three-point in the regular season. Such moments are not only captivating fans but also propelling the WNBA onto the global stage. Amidst this exhilarating season, fans have found themselves in awe of Kelsey Plum‘s “Coldest WNBA Photo of All Time.”

The Las Vegas Aces’ season-ending defeat almost two years ago left them with a bad taste. On September 18, 2022, the Aces edged past the Connecticut Sun on Game 4 by 78-71 in the WNBA Finals. Thanks to the historic victory, the city of Las Vegas won its first professional sports championship. The stacked Aces have been nothing short of a Warriors-esque caliber these past two seasons.
When the city witnessed the Aces team in flesh and blood during the championship parade, many iconic moments were born. Among the parade’s many memorable moments, one stood out and has become iconic in WNBA lore.
Kelsey Plum, donning a confident demeanor and smoking a cigar while staring directly into the camera, captured a photograph that some fans have dubbed the “coldest WNBA photo of all time.”

This season, the Las Vegas Aces have continued their remarkable journey by maintaining unwavering consistency. They have consistently occupied the top spot in the league standings. With just two games remaining and a one-game lead over the closely trailing Liberty, the Aces are on the verge of securing the coveted 1st seed. Their path to this accolade depends on the outcome of the Liberty’s final regular-season game against the Washington Mystics.
