Biden welcomes 'back-to-back' champions Las Vegas Aces
As you as she was saying, you’re one of the best. She’s including men and folks. Welcome to the White House 2023 WNBA Champions, Las Vegas Aces Kamala and your very own MVP, Doug. Second gentleman Thanks to the members of Congress that are here. Special thanks to the members of the administration, including Acting Labor Secretary Julie Sue. And above all, by the way, she was a center. No thank you all for an entire Ace’s organization, especially coaches and players. The first WNBA team in over 20 years to win a title back-to-back. I kind of like that back-to-back stuff. Ever since you moved to Las Vegas in 2018, you’ve had embodied excellence. Five straight playoff appearances. Three final appearances in four years and this year, the best regular season record in league history, including the most wins in the season. Eight and one in the postseason before winning the title again. And along the way, you led you. Led by Giants of the game Hall of Fame coach Becky Hammond. Becky Wert. The deepest bench in the league. Starters led by 4 All Stars. Chelsea Gray. Jackie Young, Kelsey Plum and a woman new to the limelight. Asia Wilson. The prior to Columbia SC Kim Clyburn here because he’s bragging about you. While she couldn’t be here, I want to acknowledge someone who’ll be considered one of the greatest all time coaches Candice Parker. She played 16 seasonal league, 2 Olympic gold medals, two regular season MVPS and a final MVP. And look, I’m going out on top of the world. With her third ring, she announced the retirement from the game. But I want to thank her for incredible career. We know she’s got a whole world in front of her. Whole world.
