The Aces and Liberty made this game one for the history books. An incredibly hard-fought game for the greatest award the WNBA has to offer, the championship trophy. Congrats to the Aces. Looking forward to next season.
I think NY taking that last time out, could have cost them. These are Top player's; they knew what to do! Them having to bring the ball in like that, gave the Aces time to set up a good defence. Good game to All!!
Nope, time out was the right call. Breanna (30) had an iso played drawn for her with 8 sec on the clock. No double for 4 sec until she spinned into the double; should have spinned to baseline for an easy 2. Breanna's was 2018 and 2020 finals MVP, 2022 scoring leader, and made WNBA 1st team 4x. Point is WNBA is just bad. You give any NBA player with the same accolades as her and 8 sec on the clock, easy 2, tying the series 2-2.
@@dcoledesttaevadoithawj2207 you don't know that a guy could have done any better - SMH. Get real. All I ever notice in these comments, is guys saying how crappy the WNBA is, & the players too. Why do you even watch them?? I bet they could take most of you guys, who probably never made it very far! I've seen & experienced coaches lose the game for their players by Not trusting them. That coach should have let them play. They had plenty of time, & could have gotten a 2nd shot off. Great defense from Alysha Clark!
@pattibond men do do it better. Evidence is in viewership and income NBA brings in compare to WNBA. I don't watch the WNBA. I came by to just make this comment and looked up who 30 was.
@@dcoledesttaevadoithawj2207get your head out of the sand. ESPN Etc are the ones who make the decision on what they'll cover. Viewership would be up, if they'd cover more games - Duh! Attendance? They pretty much play the Same teams all the time, because they're aren't many teams in the league. WNBA hasn't been around very long. Women want more pay; they're fighting for it, just like in All industries. There are only 12 or 13 teams. They need more teams! The men's teams could/should carry the load. It's coming around. Who won the 3 point shoot around, with men And women in it?? Sabrina Ionoscu !!! Being a good shooter/ player doesn't depend on gender. I'd much rather watch players hit 3 pointers, or Any shot from the field, vs dunks all the time. There's No talent in a dunk - sorry. Don't take away from these women who have worked hard to get where they are. Most of them are damn good player's! Like I said in my Original comment, NY coach should have let them take the ball to the basket Vs a timeout . There was plenty of time, & these are some of the Top female players! WHY take a chance on losing the ball while throwing it in, And giving the other team (Aces) time to set up, when you've Already got possession of the ball, & it's Already in your hands?? She shouldn't have. I believe it cost NY the game. We'll just agree to disagree.
AJA, the star of the team, had the most points and eventually was named MVP of the game...who else shot would it make sense to to block? Do you watch basketball.
My team my girls. Aces simply the best. Nervy ending. Congratulations girls. Back to back. You deserve the title. Defend it again. Let's go for the triple. I trust you. Congratulations
1:03 I remember think at the time that if Vegas lost, that was going to be the reason why. TERRIBLE turnover by Plum that could have given the Liberty full momentum. The Aces were just able to hold onto that lead by the skin of their teeth. That’s a big time close to a game.
@@datnewfixI agree. Coaching and defense won this game. The Liberty got their heart broke tonight. They had to watch LV celebrate on their home floor with three of their best players injured and on crutches.
I’d love to give credit to the New York Liberty 🗽 because they played hard this season to get to this point! Congratulations to the Las Vegas Aces on their 2nd Championship!
I felt like throwing up to watching how bad the Liberty were in these playoffs. If you can't beat the Aces without four players you will never win a championship. Now Sabrina gets screwed out of a championship again.
Hindsight here. Maybe get the ball into Jo Jones low post shot and foul or shot made no foul. Win win. Great game either way. Wilson is MVP year round.
Can we talk about the defensive rotation here at the end? A thing of beauty. The initial defense on Stewart the double by Jackie. The rotation from the weak side by Kelsey so that Laney had to hesitate to take the shot. Then the recovery rotation by Jackie to challenge the Vandersloot shot. They wanted to get a shot off sooner so that they could hit the offensive boards but had no chance to do so because there was too much help D everywhere. Love to see it. Congrats Aces. And if you didn’t know… A’ja is HER. Ridiculous that Ionescu got a signature shoe before A’ja. Not hating. Just saying 🤔🤨😂
I know this isn’t what you said but I don’t think it’s ridiculous Ionesco got her own shoe but it’s ridiculous (and probably racist) that Aja doesn’t have a shoe. LeBron says it’s coming! Though it’s years too late. We want an Aja shoe!
It was perfection! Clark was just about like glue on Stewart that she made her need to pass it from the time she had to tip the ball to herself on the inbound pass. Young came over on helpside D to make it even harder on Stewart that she needed to pass it off to Laney. Young then rotates from Stewart back to Laney AND Plum then rotates to guard Laney because Young was still in motion from guarding Stewart. Then Young hustles all the way from Laney over to Vandersloot to guard her forcing an airball! A thing of beauty is right!!!
That’s usually how it goes. But - if you played, you know that no single play wins or loses the game. That turnover is not more important than any other turnover.
Can't believe they didn't call the foul on Jonquel on that last Aces possession. Raked A'ja's left arm pretty hard and should have put her to the free throw line.
congrats to my team las vegas aces,everyone count them out including me after loosing chelsea gray i did not think that was possible that they had a chance to win this,i'm still in disbelieve that they won the championship,now the next history making is a 3-peat.l ol.
A'ja Wilson is the REAL MVP 3-17 IS NOT MVP worthy. And that was just this game. Stewie's series was lack luster at best. Three 40 point games does not make a season
New York sucked they blew a golden opportunity and let's face it their top players were mediocre at best A'ja is the real MVP she took it to whoever tried to guard her Jonquil is so slow and a liability..
That last possession did not go well.The Aces beat a very good team.I followed the Liberty all year and they play at a high level and have elite players
Hated the timeout w/ 8 seconds left...Inoscu is a scorer--this was your chance. If you miss, you have the opportunity to rebound or foul w/ time left on the clock. She had the momentum, defense was scrambling and she had the 1 v 1. Yes, defense was very tough, physical but you have the offensive moves to create.
Breanna Stewart is the MVP of the league. It doesn't matter if she's 1-21 from the field. She's got to take that shot. I don't think Alysha Clark could block her shot, and besides, she wasn't going to foul her. I wanted a Game 5 just because. NY will feel the sting of this loss up until next season. CP3 is my #1 and I wish she coyote have played! Congrats, Aces, on Back 2 Back Chips...
Seriously all jokes aside. This isn't about a man's sport or a woman's sport. This was just a really good competitive contest between two teams that wanted it. How could you not enjoy this if you're a fan of bball? Regardless of the gender that's playing
I believe that if They pass or She pass or throw The balll To Sabrina She can make a two Points or Three Points The Liberty Team Will win it it could Be 72 Liberty,and 70 That so that would Be The final score If The decision of Sabrina's Team mate would work there so perfectly if that would Be The plan of The coach,and that is Sabrina The 3 pointer,and Im her number one fan!!! Do your very best my Sabrina!!!
The craziest thing happened my app went out due to non-payment on it 10/18/23 the same day the Aces took the 🗽 out. It wasn't meant for me 2 c them lose. 😥 SMDH.
You all give Candace a break please not because she wasn't on the court.. can't you all hear her teammates and coach giving her praise for her insights game plans etc... she still played a huge role that got them championship
Hated they dumped into Stewart...should've had a guard handle that #1, and hot potato at the end to sprinting defense---what about a ball fake for a shot? C;mon you gals are pros.
Why didn't she cut if she would have cut when they doubled Brianna she could throw the ball somebody would have came to commit she could have dumped it to the bed she would have scored that would have been the end of it
You are never too old when you still have more to offer l. Injuries happen to every athlete. She's got a lot left and I can't wait to see her next season. She's one of the Greatest to ever play!!
@@mplou699 They get old,look how Wade,Kobe/Shaq fell over.She probably won't be back next season because she didn't sign but a 1 yr deal.They got a stack team already
How do you people even call this basketball. This is not even entertaining unless you call it comedic. There are at least 200 boys high school basketball teams in America, that would beat any of these team every time they played them. Please quit saying that these players are entertaining. They certainly don’t deserve what money they do make. They don’t earn it, the NBA donates money for them. So, without the NBA there would be no “WNBA” period.
Super boring super low scoring more turnovers than great plays and the MVP didn't show up and play for 4 straight games. Sabrina John Paul Jones and breana Stewart are soft. Any contact and they start making wining faces start bouncing their head like a bobble head and completely melt down. Game 1 was the only watchable game. Meanwhile the Phoenix Suns scoring 78 points before halftime in preseason. WNBA is a bad joke.
Vegas again back on top . In just a few years we have professional sports teams and now we have 3 world championships. Two of them led by the goat A’ja Wilson and one Stanley Cup !!! Take that every other State !!!!
