Brittney Griner was already a two-time gold medalist, but her newest triumph with Team USA might surpass what she previously achieved in the Summer Olympics. "My emotions are all over the place," she said after the United States beat France 67-66 in Sunday's final, per ESPN's Brian Windhorst. "It means so much to me. My family didn't think I would be here, like I've said before, and then to be here and win and gold for my country, representing when my country fought for me so hard to even be standing here. Yeah, this gold medal is going to hold a special place."

Las Vegas, NV

The Las Vegas Aces have a lot of pressure on them once this Olympic break comes to an end. Currently, the Aces have the fifth best record, however in the first half of the season the Aces had a slow start but ended the first half strong. Right now the Aces have four players playing in Paris for Team USA, so there is sort of a disadvantage with players being in the Olympics not getting a big rest break like other teams, but also these players won’t be “out of shape.” With A’ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum, Jackie Young, and Chelsea Gray being Olympians, these core four form the “super-team” for Las Vegas. To show off what the Aces have, currently they have A’ja Wilson who leads the league in points per game, rebounds, and blocks. Then there’s Jackie Young, who leads the league with the best assist to turnover ratio, third best offensive rating for a guard, third best effective field goal percentage for a guard, second best field goal percentage for a guard, and fifth in points for a guard. To complete the “big three” is Kelsey Plum, who is fifth in the league for total three pointers made, fourth in the league for offensive rating, fifth best three point percentage for a guard, and fifth best plus-minus for a guard. The Aces are stacked offensively which is why they lead the league in points per game, the best field goal percentage, third best three point percentage, third in rebounds, best in least amount of turnovers, as well the best in free throw shooting. Statistically the Aces are right there and could be called the best team in the league. However, stats don’t always mean everything.
