Best photos, tweets and videos from Las Vegas Aces championship parade

The Aces’ championship parade lit up the city of Las Vegas on Monday as the team celebrated its second straight title.

For the first time in 21 years, a WNBA team clinched back-to-back championships. The Las Vegas Aces celebrated their second championship parade on Monday after defeating the New York Liberty, 70-69, in Game 4 of the WNBA Finals to secure the win. The contest was the most-watched Game 4 in WNBA history, and the WNBA Finals were the most-watched in 20 years, up 36% from 2022.

The players and fans made the most of the event, lining the Las Vegas streets. A Las Vegas Metro officer estimated more than 5,000 people in attendance.

From the cigar-smoking Kelsey Plum to head coach Becky Hammon calling herself an old timer and predicting A’ja Wilson will be the goat of all goats in the WNBA, fun was had by all. Sydney Colson kept herself on social media all parade long, prompting Hammon to ask what “going live” on social media even meant.

Here are the best photos, videos and tweets from the parade:

Sports Betting Futures: World Series, WNBA and preseason Super Bowl odds entering August

Justin Verlander is the new favorite for AL MVP.

It’s the start of August, which means the NFL is ramping back up with preseason play. So, it’s no better time than now to make yourself aware of the Super Bowl odds for each team, as they could potentially change as position battles are won and injuries inevitably occur.

In baseball, the Dodgers and Yankees remain the two World Series favorites, though the Astros and Mets have closed the gap a little. The award races are less tight, as Aaron Judge and Paul Goldschmidt have shortened their respective AL and NL MVP odds by a lot over the last month. And Justin Verlander is the new favorite for the AL Cy Young Award.

Here’s a look at all of that and more entering August, with odds from Tipico Sportsbook.
