A’ja Wilson, Jackie Young and Chelsea Gray are at the heart of Las Vegas Aces’ success

The Las Vegas Aces' core trio of A'ja Wilson, Jackie Young, and Chelsea Gray have established a foundation built on humility, accountability, and family, driving the team to historic success in the WNBA. Over the past four seasons, the Aces have reached three WNBA Finals, securing back-to-back championships—a feat not achieved in over two decades—and are currently leading the Phoenix Mercury 3-0 in the best-of-seven Finals, positioning them for a potential third title in four years.

Despite a rocky start this season, including a record 53-point home loss to the Lynx, the Aces dramatically turned their performance around, largely due to the elite contributions of their "big three." Chelsea Gray excels as a playmaker and defender, Jackie Young is known as the "silent assassin" for her strength as a guard, and A'ja Wilson, the league's first four-time MVP, is on track to become one of the greatest talents in WNBA history.

The trio's on-court chemistry and collective talents have been key to the team's dominance, with their unity and desire to win together emphasized by teammates like Jewell Loyd. Unlike other teams relying on new rosters, the Aces' longevity stems from continuity, as Wilson, Young, and Gray have played together for five seasons, with Wilson and Young as teammates for seven years, fostering cohesion that fuels their championship pursuits.
