Throughout the season, the Las Vegas Aces radiated dominance. The Aces are one win away from repeating as champs. The New York Liberty, led by Breanna Stewart, worked hard to establish their viewpoint. These two teams have been dubbed the “Super Teams” of the WNBA for their outstanding teamwork. The showdown cast by the Las Vegas Aces, with a prowess of averaging 17 points and seven comprehensive triumphs in the playoffs, is something the Aces aced very well this year, attempting to achieve inconceivable postseason records.
However, sports analysts believe that the New York Liberty players lack a trait that the Las Vegas Aces have accomplished tastefully, which accounts for their success.

Building a super team within a hard horizon is highly impossible, especially to ace back-to-back championships while maintaining supremacy in scores. The aces have shown monotony in dominance. But they have broken the stereotypes of a serious environment with their teams. They have defied the belief in acquiring discipline at the price of banter.

Despite the fact that the Aces have been a long-standing squad for many years, Liberty also showcases a star-studded MVP talent pool that has the ability to unlock the title. All this raises a question.
Who’s Kim Perrot?
If we go back to the second WNBA Finals in 1998, the reigning champions, the Housten Comets, were completely naive and on their way to get defeated by Phoenix. Even the well-known “Big Three” of Shery Swoopes, Tina Thompson, and Cynthia Cooper were of no assistance. “I got this coach,” Kim Perrot said, illuminating the comet’s waning optimism. She altered the course of the game and helped the Comets win their second title in two years when she moved into the middle.
