That's WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces to you. The Aces used a 78-71 Game 4 win over the Connecticut Sun to claim their first title in franchise history.

The Aces had no shortage of star power on the court — A'ja Wilson is the reigning league MVP — or on the sideline — rookie head coach Becky Hammon was named Coach of the Year.

With the victory, the Aces became the first Las Vegas professional sports franchise to win a championship. Hammon also became the first rookie coach to win a WNBA title in her debut season.

But that's not all, according to ESPN Stats & Information, Wilson & Co. are also just the fourth team in league history to win MVP, Coach of the Year and hoist the trophy all in the same season.
