00:00But we'll be right back.

00:04♪♪

00:05Liberty, the Sun, the Lynx, the Storm,

00:06and the Aces all up top.

00:08If I asked you your championship prediction today

00:11before the, quote-unquote, second half starts up here,

00:14who's that going to be for you, Miles?

00:16So this is always my least favorite question.

00:18It was not an issue until the Liberty were contenders

00:20because that is the team that I cover locally.

00:22That is my home market.

00:24And they have been the best team

00:25throughout the first half of the season.

00:27But I think I still need to say the Las Vegas Aces

00:30because they're going for this unprecedented three-peat

00:32that hasn't been done since the first three years

00:34of the league.

00:35And they still have Asia Wilson,

00:37who's running laps around everybody else

00:39as the best player in the world.

00:40So right now, it's kind of one of those scenarios

00:43where I think we saw this,

00:44the comparison I can make on the men's side

00:46is when we just saw LeBron running roughshod

00:48through the Eastern Conference for a decade.

00:50It feels like that's what Asia is doing to the entire WNBA.

00:54She is by far the best player in the league

00:56and they are returning four Olympians home

00:59from that Team USA roster, a third of that roster.

01:02That's just how built they are for it.

01:04So yeah, until somebody dethrones them,

01:06I say the Aces are the team to beat.
