The Las Vegas Aces won another championship Wednesday and kept tabs on the things said about them. Veteran Sydney Colson said she had time to address any haters.
Let’s be honest: the Aces are mind-bogglingly good. From holding the WNBA’s best regular season record to having A’ja Wilson and Alysha Clark win league awards, they are the epitome of elite athleticism.
The Aces have also withstood several things that shifted how the team needed to operate, including significant injuries to Candace Parker, Chelsea Gray, and Kiah Stokes.
Through it all, they stared greatness in the face and dared it to flinch. After they altered the WNBA history books, Colson had a role in the team’s title win and had something she needed to get off her chest.

In the most Sydney Colson way possible (if you’ve seen The Syd + TP Show, you know what I mean), she grabbed a mic during post-game interviews and immediately interrupted ESPN’s Holly Rowe.
“People wanted to count us out because we had two of our starters down, but they don’t know we got some dogs on this team,” Colson said passionately. “So, I have two words to say: night, night!”
Colson emphatically repeated “night, night” again and hit Stephen Curry’s iconic sleeping celebration. Cold-blooded.
Kierstan Bell, Colson’s teammate, also joins in while cackling — pure chaotic energy and comedy. A clapback for the ages.
Just the way the Aces drew it up.
