Episode Notes
The Las Vegas Aces went from chaos to champs — and it all started with leadership, trust, and a text message from A’ja Wilson that set the tone for one of the most remarkable comebacks in WNBA history. ESPN analyst LaChina Robinson joins Julie Foudy and Abby Wambach to break down how the Aces turned a midseason collapse into a championship sweep, what makes Becky Hammon’s connection with her players so unique, and why the upcoming WNBA CBA negotiations could reshape the entire league.
