Stephen A. Smith kept it real when talking about Becky Hammon: “If I were an NBA owner, I’d hire Becky Hammon as head coach." Since taking over the Las Vegas Aces, Hammon has transformed the team into a modern-day WNBA powerhouse. Her resume speaks for itself: 🏆 3× WNBA Champion (2022, 2023, 2025) 🏆 Commissioner’s Cup Champion (2022) 🏆 WNBA Coach of the Year (2022) Beyond the WNBA, Hammon’s basketball pedigree runs deep. She was a trailblazer as an assistant coach under Gregg Popovich with the Spurs, becoming the 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 full-time female assistant in NBA history. Under Pop, she learned the intricacies of NBA coaching, game management, and leadership at the highest level. Becky Hammon has proven she can lead, adapt, and win, whether on the court as a player, on the sidelines in the WNBA, or in the NBA as a coach-in-waiting. At this point, it’s not a question of if she belongs in the NBA… it’s 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯. 👀 #wnba #basketball #beckyhammon
