The WNBA was founded back in 1996 as the women's counterpart to the NBA and started league play in 1997. Originating with just 8 teams, the league has since grown to a total of 12 teams, one of which calls Las Vegas home.
The Las Vegas Aces have been playing ball since 2018 but their history goes back much further than that, and joining me on this episode to talk about that - and much more - is John Maxwell, the team's Director of Media Relations.
John & I sat down during my most recent trip to Vegas to talk about the team's arrival in the city & how they were received, what made Las Vegas an attractive market for the WNBA, and the Aces' passionate & loyal fan base.
